The Diving Bell is named after a proto-submarine that sailed near Panama in 1869 and was left to rust there. Behold the Bitter Monument, the Chicago band's first EP, tracks its journey of exploration, invention and discovery. The Diving Bell began performing in early 2014, and last year performed live on WGN Radio and at venues including Lincoln Hall and House of Blues. The Diving Bell consists of husband-and-wife duo Steve and Clare Hendershot, along with Kevin Jones, Charles Murphy, Graham Gilreath and Joshua Robinson. Steve Hendershot's songs have been featured on the HBO TV show True Blood and earned a national songwriting award from the Independent Artists Company. The Diving Bell is based in Chicago, and our frequent collaborators include Adam Wisz, Ruth Hogle, JD Frazier and Dan Hawthorne. A band from Chicago, Illinois
