ABOUT WAVORLY:
Wavorly is a four piece alternative rock band from Nashville, TN. Originally forming in college in Mississippi, the band signed a deal with now-defunct Flicker Records (Sony BMG) in late 2006 and released their debut record "Conquering the Fear of Flight" in 2007, which spawned two Christian Rock radio number ones and their most popular song to date, "Praise and Adore (Some Live Without It)," which spent a lot of time in heavy rotation on many national CHR radio stations. After parting ways with Flicker, the band toured nationwide for the next four years, sharing the stage with bands such as Disciple, Pillar, Blindside, Project 86, Fireflight, House of Heroes, and current tour-mates The Wedding. In late 2011, Wavorly released "The EP," four songs produced by grammy nominated producers Rob Graves and Jasen Rauch and saw a first day digital showing of #15 on the Itunes Alternative charts and an overwhelmingly positive response from reviewers and fans alike. Wavorly is: Dave Stovall (vocals, guitar), Matt Lott (bass, vocals), Seth Farmer (guitar, vocals), and Teddy Boldt (drums).

Not content with their critical success, the band has been touring relentlessly with such varied acts as Disciple, Point of Grace and Decyfer Down. Their second full length "Frequency" was released November 22, 2011, expanding on their unique brand of '80's infused synth pop rock.
