Verity Den

Verity Den was born of chance meetings and life-long dedications. The band is comprised of Casey Proctor, Trevor Reece, Mike Wallace and Reed Benjamin, all of whom spent considerable time in their respective and shared DIY-music communities before converging to form the group in early 2023. Casey and Trevor initially met as members of an ad-hoc improv ensemble performing tape loops, strings, and electronics as part of a multi-disciplinary series hosted on a rooftop in Chapel Hill called Attic 506. Soon after, they shifted from long-running musical projects to focus on exploring new sonic territories together. The band operates in an ever-evolving dynamic of group improvisation and studio experimentation, capturing moments of coarse circuit completion and bringing to fruition long-gestating ideas and songs. The sound and lyrics are raw and largely unadorned, transmitting both truth and wildness.
