    Artist History
    After winning the nationally recognized New Union Band Tournament in the spring of 2002, Minneapolis-based Cofield was surprised by unexpected approval and demand for their music. With only a hastily-recorded demo CD to offer, the band's tour schedule was rapidly increasing. "It was an incredible learning experience for all of us," reflects bassist Mike Zustiak. The band spent the following summer honing their live show as they played to thousands of people across the upper mid-west including opening appearances with The Elms, The Benjamin Gate, Thousand Foot Krutch, and Jeff Deyo. "Being exposed to so much live playing right away really helped us improve upon our live show," remarks lead singer and songwriter Timothy Cofield. Fans and newcomers alike will recognize that Cofield's convincing and energetic stage show belies such a young band. Contrary to handfuls of copy-cat pop bands all proclaiming to offer something new and different, Cofield is determined to dig deep and create something truly unique and musical. Cofield's many influences (The Goo Goo Dolls, Jars of Clay, Switchfoot, and Lifehouse-- to name a few) are as diverse as the music they create. "We've never tried to formulate 'a sound'. Instead, we try to use the best elements we have to offer musically as tools to support the emotion and lyric of the song," notes Ben Nordeen (rhythm guitar). Cofield's songs run the gamut of musical forms, from the focused intensity of the acoustic-driven "In the Morning" to the passionate delivery and heavy guitars in "Beyond Me ". Cofield blends its appreciation of melodic acoustic-driven pop with thick guitars, gritty vocals, and gorgeous cello pieces to create a musical identity that's all it's own. "Incorporating cello in the mix keeps us grounded musically. Katie loves classical music and is classically trained, and I think that lends itself beautifully to the feel and emotion we want to convey," remarks Jamin Haddox (drums). The result is a collection of infectious melodies, deep grooves, and thoughtful reflections which invoke emotion and speak to life experience.
