Twin Forks is an American Americana, folk rock band from Boca Raton, Florida, started in 2011 by Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional, Further Seems Forever). They are currently based out of Nashville, TN. The band's current members are Chris Carrabba, Jonathan Clark, Shawn Zorn, Kelsie Baron, and Sara Ellen. Twin Forks have released one EP, titled Twin Forks, and a full-length album also titled Twin Forks.
The band was formed in the wake of Chris Carrabba's desire to form a band based in classic folk, country and roots music
Chris contacted Suzie Zeldin (The Narrative), Ben Homola (Bad Books) and Jonathan Clark to help in the production of his acoustic, solo album "Covered in the Flood". Carrabba asked Zeldin to sing back-ups on his cover of "Long Monday," and Clark to help him record/produce it in his small studio. Carrabba and Homola had been talking about playing together for a while, so he invited the drummer to join the developing project. Twin Forks made their debut at the SXSW festival in March 2013. The band spent a year in a garage rehearsing to in order to develop the project and release a free EP.
Twin Forks was formed in the shadow of Dashboard Confessional's current touring hiatus, following an active period of 10+ years. "I love Dashboard. I love Further. I love my bandmates in those bands, and I don't have any plans to not do those bands with those guys, but (Twin Forks) is where my heart is and where my creative reward is coming from right now," said Carrabba for an interview in Billboard regarding Dashboard and Further Seems Forever.
In the summer of 2013, Twin Forks released a free EP via digital download entitled "TOUR EP Vol. 1" featuring four songs. The band had previously offered this EP at their live shows since their debut.
