7/1 Live From Studio: The Counterfactuals

The North 103.3 | By Christine Dean

Published July 1, 2016 at 2:43 PM CDT

Five men in t-shirts standing in front of a wall of CDs.

This five-piece based in Northfield, Minnesota, joined us in the studio on July 1, 2016.

We found out how they all met as professors at Carlton and St. Olaf Colleges and how the guy with the jazz drumming degree (Daniel Groll) became the singer/guitarist and the guy with the jazz saxophone degree (Mike Fuerstein) took over drums.

The band, which also includes Andy Flory on bass and Jason Decker on guitar, talked about making their latest, self-titled, album of melodic indie-rock. Finding they needed a keyboard player for the live show to bring to life the sounds on the album, they recently brought Louis Epstein, another Northfield academic, on board.
