SUMMARY:Colony House
DESCRIPTION:Colony House is gearing up to release their major label debut\,
  Only the Lonely\, via Descendant/RCA. The title is a shout-out to the kin
 g of elegiac melancholy - “Obviously it’s a direct Roy Orbison referen
 ce\,” says Caleb. And that might initially seem at odds with Colony Hous
 e’s sound\, a madcap aural rollercoaster borrowing from the anthemic swe
 ll of the Killers to the harmonic sass of the Beach Boys to the wit of Vam
 pire Weekend. But beneath the band’s whirlwind of ecstatic guitar playin
 g and intricate melodies you’ll find their real signature: emotion. They
  write about being desperately lonely. They write about being desperately 
 joyful. But what makes a Colony House song a Colony House song is the shee
 r feeling it conveys. “We want to connect with people\,” explains Cale
 b\, mentioning a favorite quote by van Gogh. There’s a great fire that b
 urns within me but no one stops to warm themselves by it\, and passersby o
 nly see a wisp of smoke. “I mean\, this is Vincent van Gogh we’re talk
 ing about!” he continues. “The whole world knows his work! But he felt
  this loneliness\, this sense of\, I have so much I have to offer but no o
 ne stops to see it.” Colony House’s primary aim is to see that fire. T
 o witness it\, as Caleb puts it\, “in ourselves\, and in the people that
  come to see us play. That’s what we’re about.”\n\nIf this sounds li
 ke an unusually high-minded goal for a bunch of twenty-something dudes in 
 a rock and roll band\, there’s a reason for that: The guys in Colony Hou
 se may be young\, but they’re serious about their work. And they’ve be
 en at it a while.  “So … me and my brother\, we know each other for ob
 vious reasons\,” says Caleb\, as he begins to explain how they all met. 
 Caleb is older\, “by sixteen months\,” he points out. “I think we ha
 ve twin tendencies.” The two brothers come from a long line of musicians
 . “If you’re ever in Paducah\, Kentucky and you see ‘Chapman Music
 ’ on the side of the road\, that’s my grandpa’s music shop\,” Cale
 b says. Grandpa Chapman’s son\, Steven Curtis Chapman\, Caleb and Will
 ’s dad\, is also a musician. He grew up “playing southern gospel and b
 luegrass\,” in Kentucky\, Caleb says\, then moved to Nashville and becam
 e a songwriter. “He found success in the contemporary Christian music wo
 rld\,” Caleb continues. “This is a proud son thing to say\, but he rea
 lly helped shape what that industry is.” For Will and Caleb\, visiting d
 ad at the office meant climbing aboard a tour bus. “That’s what really
  inspired me and my brother to start playing music\,” Caleb recalls. “
 We were like\, we want to do what dad does.”\n\nKnowing what you want to
  do and actually doing it are two different things. It took the Chapman br
 others a while\, but by the end of 2009\, around the time they met Scott\,
  things really started to gel. “My cousin brought him to our little sist
 er’s birthday party\, and he’s like\, Scott plays guitar if you ever n
 eed a guitar player.” They actually did\, and eventually Scott became th
 e first guy in the band not named Chapman. Scott knew of Parke from back h
 ome in Knoxville. He had a reputation as killer guitarist and piano player
 \, but they’d never met until Colony House asked Parke to open up\, as a
  solo artist\, for one of their Knoxville shows. He did. It went very well
 . And thus began a multi-year getting-to- know-you period between Colony H
 ouse and Parke. Three years after that show in Knoxville\, Colony House as
 ked Parke to come out and play bass with them for a couple weeks. Parke bo
 rrowed a friend’s bass\, met the guys in Atlanta\, and has played every 
 show since. He was officially added to the line-up in the spring of this y
 ear.\n\nIt matters\, when you tour with the intensity Colony House tours\,
  that all the people you’re sharing a van with have your back. And it ma
 tters that all the people waiting for you back at home do too. “For us a
 t least\, they go hand in hand\,” Caleb says. “If you’re falling apa
 rt in one place\, it directly impacts the other.” After the band release
 d their 2014 debut (on Descendant) they proceeded to play over 200 shows t
 he following year in support of it. “We wouldn’t want to be anywhere e
 lse\, this is the dream\,” says Caleb. “But it’s also work.” Disco
 vering that they could be exactly where they wanted to be\, living the dre
 am out on the road while simultaneously missing home gave the band a new i
 nsight into what they see as a universal human struggle. “Everyone has t
 hings they miss\, everyone has things they’re worried about – even whe
 n life is going great\, it can still feel hard\, and there’s no shame in
  saying that\, there is no shame in saying you’re lonely or sad\, that
 ’s part of the beauty of life\,” Caleb says.
