Wavorly is an American rock band from Tupelo, Mississippi.
History
Wavorly formed in 2001 under the name Freshmen 15 and independently released two albums under this name.[1] The group changed its name after signing to Flicker Records because they "didn't want to be thirty years old and be like, 'I'm in "Freshmen 15". I have three kids.'"[2] The name Wavorly comes from a haunted mansion in West Point, Mississippi.[2] Their major label debut, Conquering the Fear of Flight, was released on Flicker on June 12, 2007, and has lyrics significantly influenced by the writings of C. S. Lewis.[3][4][5][6]
The band's single "Part One" received significant airplay on US
Wavorly broke up on December 21, 2012, and made the announcement via Facebook.[9]
Lead singer Dave Stovall joined forces with Christian rock band Audio Adrenaline in 2015.
Wavorly announced a reunion in 2017 via Facebook.[10]
