Formed in the demise of two popular Central-Illinois bands, The Graduate is a collaboration between long time friends Tim Moore, Corey Warning, Matt Kennedy, Max Sauer, and Jared Wuestenberg. After several years of heavy touring in their previous efforts, the band has been able to stir quite a buzz, and has amassed a formidable following that feels more like a family than a fan-base. This quintet has developed their own formula, inspired by such bands as U2, Third Eye Blind, Mute Math, Coldplay, and Death Cab for Cutie.
In these troubled economic times it’s hard not to notice the subtle irony in the tale of a young band called the Graduate, who are unemployed, without a record label, and looking for work. But the indie-pop-rock quintet, based here in Springfield, isn’t standing in a line waiting for a bailout. These guys are busy working on new songs, shopping for a record label, and making plans for the future…
The group came together in 2005 when two central Illinois bands, Best of Winter and J.A.C.K., dissolved into one and became the Graduate. (They) have been close friends as well as band mates from the beginning of the adventure. That’s a good thing since they spend an immense amount of time doing most everything as a unit, including riding thousands of miles in a van, rehearsing for hours on end in a practice studio, and being truly connected professionally, socially, and artistically.

These guys are mind blowing to see perform live. Their shows are something you just can't miss out on. It's an experience you won't forget. If you have a chance to see them live go see them! You won't be disapointed.
