Intro

Formed in 1996, the American group Dispatch blends indie folk and jam band styles. Based in the Boston area, the band features Chad Urmston and Brad Corrigan, with original bassist Pete Francis Heimbold departing in 2019. Following a decade-long hiatus that began in 2002, the trio reunited for various performances before returning to recording and touring in 2011. Their discography includes an EP and the 2012 studio album, Circles Around the Sun.
