Biografia

Dispatch was an American indie/roots folk band formed at Middlebury College in Middlebury, Vermont. They were active from 1996 to 2002, and have come together twice for reunion concerts, first in 2004, and again in 2007. Dispatch experimented with a variety of genres, and as such, they are known as a very difficult band to place a label on. The band was also instrumental in the creation of the non-profit organization, The Elias Fund. Dispatch consisted of Brad Corrigan (vocals, drums, guitar, and percussion), Pete Heimbold (vocals, bass and guitar), and Chad Urmston (vocals, bass, guitar, and percussion).

Different styles and genres employed by the band include: reggae (examples are “Outloud” and “Passerby”), ska (“Bats in the Belfry” and “Railway”), folk (“Craze” and “The General”), funk (“Just Like Larry”), and rock (“Even” and “Time Served”).
