Secretly Group’s 3-decade indie music journey


The glow of a shared stage can conjure up some truly unique memories. For the members of At What Comes After The Blues, Secretly Group, a recent performance offered more than just music; it felt like a heartfelt homecoming.

On Saturday night, as the band took the stage at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, the atmosphere was filled with a warm, familiar energy. Amidst the cheers and the melodies, frontman Ben Swanson shared a reflection on the experience that captured the essence of communal joy.

“It’s been a bit like a family reunion,” Swanson remarked onstage. He elaborated on the nature of the gathering, distinguishing the positive memories from the less pleasant realities of casual social interactions.

“The good kind, not the kind where your weird uncle says mildly inappropriate things all night,” he joked, highlighting the comfort and genuine connection felt among the audience and fellow musicians.

This sentiment perfectly encapsulated the feeling of celebrating three decades of indie music achievement. The concert was not just a performance; it was a celebration of a journey, a milestone marked by shared history and deep, genuine connection.
