UNG Oconee Student Makes Cover Of Local Magazine

It’s no surprise that there are many talented students at the University of North Georgia-Oconee campus, but one student in particular stands apart. Evan Amburn, drummer for local band The Woodgrains, was recently spotted on the cover of the Flagpole alongside his bandmates Nick Carroll and Dylan Crosby.

With rising bands such as the Futurebirds and New Madrid recently being featured on the cover, this is a big win for The Woodgrains progression to fame. Evan and his bandmates seem to have officially joined the big leagues with this rite of passage, and rightfully so.

The band is celebrating the release of their second album and to get a little taste of what it’s going to be like, Flagpole conducted an interview discussing their album track by track and having them explain each song.

In the interview, Evan recalls that with “a lot of these songs, we were like, ‘OK, we’ve got a handful of songs, and we’re gonna go hash it out for a month or two, practicing every day.’” All of that practicing seems to have paid off since they’ve headlined on a popular magazine, and if their first album is any indication, they’ve got a very promising second album.
