DeYarmond Edison Pt. 3 - Epoch

Secretly Society presents a four-episode mini-series about friendship, music, and a story that is both heartbreaking and heartwarming alike - DeYarmond Edison. This series is narrated by author, a friend of the band, and executive producer of the DeYarmond Edison official boxset 'Epoch', Grayson Haver Currin. This episode starts us off with DeYarmond Edison fresh off the heels of their Bickett Residency, and going back to Wisconsin for the first time since their move for a hometown show at the historic Mabel Tainter theater. In the undercurrents of the excitement, those close to the band could feel an underlying shift with the members, feeling like there were four guys, coming up with four different sounds. Stay tuned to hear about the beginning of DeYarmond's eventual downfall, and a peek at Justin Vernon's work on his fifth solo album at the time - hazeltons. The previously undisclosed story of the band that branched off into indie music legends, Megafaun and Bon Iver!
