Colony House Tickets

Colony House lead singer, Caleb Chapman, reflects on a conversation with his dad concerning the notion that he's not sure if their new album is the best thing they've ever done or just more of the same - "And wouldn't that be great..." his dad replies.

Colony House's fifth studio album, 77, is both a sonic departure and a spiritual arrival; a retro-futurist meditation on eternity, nostalgia, and the invisible threads that hold us together. Rooted in the aesthetics of '90s sound, 77 finds the Franklin, Tennessee-raised four-piece--brothers Caleb and Will Chapman, alongside Scott Mills and Parke Cottrell--reaching beyond what can be seen, touched, or even easily explained.

"77, the number, means a lot of things to a lot of people," Caleb explains. "Biblically, it's the number of forgiveness. Spiritually, it represents reassurance and provision. For us, it's become a symbol of eternal perspective--a lens to look at love, loss, and life with a little more intention and remind us that we are right where we're meant to be.

While their previous record, The Cannonballers, celebrated the rush and recklessness of youth--"A short ride with a couple twists and turns," as Caleb described it--77 slows the pace without losing momentum. Where The Cannonballers sprinted through the backroads of Tennessee chasing down freedom, 77 invites listeners on a soul-searching cruise.

Sonically, 77 represents the no-nonsense, band-forward approach that mirrors the raw energy of Colony House's live performance. "We meet people all the time that comment about how our records don't always fully capture the sound and energy of a Colony House live show," says guitarist Scott Mills. "So we're trying to close that gap." Lyrically, it remains consistent with their past work. It is earnest and sincere but avoids taking itself too seriously. Themes of faith, forgiveness, and the journey through time run like power lines through the record. "It's about looking backward and forward at the same time," adds frontman Caleb Chapman. "We've always wanted our music to bring people together--and this album is asking: what does that look like in a world that feels more divided and distracted than ever?"

For a band that built its name on emotion-driven, heart-on-sleeve rock and roll, 77 is a natural evolution - a record marked by maturing and longing. It doesn't pretend to have all the answers, but it's brave enough to keep asking the questions.

Since their 2014 debut When I Was Younger - which featured the breakout single "Silhouettes"--the #1 most-played track on Sirius XM's Alt Nation for four consecutive months--Colony House has become an influential voice in modern indie rock. Their 2017 follow up, Only the Lonely, expanded their sonic palette, fusing vintage surf rock with heartfelt storytelling. The standout track "You Know It" became a viral hit on TikTok and Instagram Reels, and its inclusion in the global Samsung Mobile campaign helped propel it past 100 million streams.

In February 2020, just before the world came to a standstill, Colony House released Leave What's Lost Behind - a cinematic and ambitious album that highlighted the band's growing creative range. The project culminated in a self-produced full-length feature film, Everybody's Looking For Some Light, which premiered at two sold-out drive-in events in their hometown of Franklin, Tennessee. The film was also an official selection at both the Nashville and Knoxville Film Festivals.

Colony House has brought their electrifying live sound to some of the country's most iconic stages and festivals, including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Shaky Knees, Firefly, and WonderBus. Their national broadcast appearances include The Today Show, MTV Live, VH1's Morning Buzz, and multiple appearances on CONAN and Late Night with Seth Meyers, showcasing their ability to translate the power of their live show to the screen.
