Bascom Hill is on the move.

Those whove followed Bascom Hill from the beginning, know how quickly they've evolved into one of the most engaging acts ever to break from this part of the country.

They describe their sound as Jack Johnson meets U2, with acoustic and electric textures fusing into a sound thats both intimate and uplifting. Their lyrics, elusive in imagery yet direct in emotional impact, weave through this fabric; the combination engages bodies and minds, equally and irresistibly. The loyalty of their fans have put Bascom Hill on a fast-track concert trajectory in recent months, as theyve been called to open for The Fray, the Gufs, the Pat McGee Band, Hanson, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and other headliners.

Critics have caught on too. Theyve lauded the bands smooth pop vocals and funky rhythms (Ricks Caf), tight harmonies, affecting lyrics, and breezy sound (Capital Times), and crisp guitar melodies that glow with Midwestern sincerity (Download.com). And early in 06 Bascom Hill won their first WAMI award, certifying their album officially as the best in Wisconsin.
