Now, Now Every Children

Blaine, Minnesota served as the origin point for indie pop/rock outfit Now, Now Every Children, which took shape around the combined abilities of longtime friends Cacie Dalager on vocals and guitar plus drummer Brad Hale while both were still enrolled in high school. Fans gravitated toward the duo’s lo-fi yet ethereal wall of sound through MySpace well before any stage appearances occurred. Dalager’s plain yet soaring vocals anchored the project, which projected an expansive presence far beyond what its minimal configuration implied, prompting a 2007 signing to Afternoon Records and the subsequent release of EPs Not One, But Two and In the City. The band’s first full-length album, Cars, surfaced in 2009.
