Henry Jamison started The Milkman’s Union as a solo project in 2005. He made a splash in the Burlington, VT pop scene with the release of two self-produced albums. Seven Days wrote that his “talent is impossible to ignore” and that his music bears “similarities to today’s most erudite indie acts.” While enrolled at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, he met drummer Peter McLaughlin and bassist Sean Weathersby. Lead guitarist Akiva Zamcheck, a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, joined the group in 2008 and helped the band complete their debut album, “Roads In”, which was released in October 2009. The record has been met with great approval from critics and fans alike. Gabe Birnbaum of Ampeater.com writes “the music conjures up its own cloud of mood the moment it comes on”. Seven Days writes that the band is “startlingly gifted” and “hyper-literate”. “Roads In” has also been getting airplay at well over 100 independent radio stations across the U.S. Since the band graduated and moved to Portland, Alex Hernandez has replaced Sean Weathersby on bass.
