There are lots of
things that make me proud of my alma mater. Unfortunately, our bands
were not one of those things. Granted, we’ve got plenty of talented
musicians. We have more a cappella groups per capita than any college
campus on the planet (actually) and a fairly comprehensive music
department. But other than a few truly fantastic novelty bands, few
have made it past graduation.

With any luck, The
Attic Stairs will be Haverford’s first true breakout band. Dan
Wriggins, the band’s lead singer, is the consummate folk singer
(not to mention an all-around cool dude.) The range of emotions the
band conveys belies their relative youth (I believe they’re all
sophomores.) Thanks to a grant from the Students’ Arts Fund and some
supplementary cash from IndieGoGo, Dan, Alicia, Martin, Charlie, and Evangeline can deliver their
music directly to your ears.

It’s clear from
this recording and their opening show for Spirit Family Reunion that
The Attic Stairs are ready for prime time. Here’s hoping that, by the
time they graduate, the world will be ready for them.
