The Louisiana band England in 1819 has such a distinct sound that they came up with a new term to describe it: grandwave. The band’s singer, Andrew Callaway, discusses their new album Fireball Electric Tomorrow, how fans can show their support, and what putting on a good show involves.

Hi Nick,
Enjoyed this interview with Andrew Callaway of England in 1819. I liked his comment on getting meaningful feedback. People may not realize that effective feedback, whether good or bad, incorporates examples of what works or doesn’t work as opposed to comments like “That’s good!” “Awsome!” “Great song!” and the like.
I also liked what he had to say what makes for a smooth experience from the performer’s perspective, which in turn helps them deliver a great experience for the audience. As a sometime singer myself, can totally relate to that!
England in 1819 is a really interesting name. Was curious how did they came up with that name.
Cheers!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Jill. The band has a distinct sound, and I imagine at least some of that is due to how receptive they are to feedback.
Actually, they’re doing another Movies & Music event in a few days. This time it is for Alfred Hitchcock’s The Lodger: http://www.batonrougegallery.org/movies-music-on-the-lawn. That should be another good one, and I plan to attend.
