Warm. Raw. Robust. These are all traits possessed by The
Follow, a band that has a way of grasping emotions by the hand and leading them
down a rock-and-roll path of melodies.
The
Follow has a sound that aims to uplift and enlighten your musical
experience with drums that are progressive and guitar riffs that are sweet and
to the point. Members of The Follow are
Troy Rickersten - vocalist/guitarist, Amy Rickersten - vocalist/bassist, and
drummer Mat Matlack. The band has performed in an array of venues,
including an appearance in Columbia, Missouri for the Rock for Kent event
raising money for the singer's brother, Kent Rickertsen. This event was in aid of his battle with ALS
(Lou Gehrig's disease). Once again the
band finds themselves preparing for The Follow's World Tour In A Day, which is a
series of concerts in the virtual world of Second Life at 5 different
venue locations and across various time zones (for a list of venues and
teleport landmarks, see the bottom of this article for a link to the official
tour website).
