Bands have a lot of components that need to be perfected to have a career, but above all else, the chemistry between the members can never be understated. Lovejoy has a name that just oozes good vibes, and that is present in the interactions between the bandmates, whether on or off stage. The band consists of Brandon Carney as the lead singer, Dillon Friedmeyer on guitar, Jacob Becker on guitar, Tyler Shaw on bass, and Dietrich Plyler on drums. Releasing their debut single and music video “Bittersweet” on Valentine’s Day 2020, Lovejoy is directly involved in every aspect, from production and mixing to directing and promoting the video. A grassroots effort for St. Louis-based pop-rock band is proving to be successful, as the five friends are quickly finding a fan base that respects and reciprocates the immense energy and fun vibe they produce. As the year wears on and they continue working on their debut project, expect to hear a lot of good things coming from Lovejoy in the future!
