Ingram Hill’s story could start in several places. We could begin at the University of Memphis in 2000, when vocalist/guitarist Justin Moore and drummer Matt Chambless first met and eventually formed the band.

Or we could go straight to 2002, when the quartet (rounded out by bassist Shea Sowell and guitarist Phil Bogard) self-released their Until Now EP and toured endlessly in support, sharing stages with artists such as Jason Mraz, Michelle Branch, Lisa Marie Presley, Saliva, Lifehouse, Maroon 5 and O.A.R. As with years past, they did well over 200 shows in 2002 and garnered airplay on radio stations in Memphis and throughout the Southeast. Along the way, they drove three vans straight into the ground, with the last one going through five transmission changes alone. “We hadn’t been home for more than 10 days at a time that year,” says Chambless. “But while it’s easy to groan about being away so much, we’ve had the opportunity to see the country and connect with audiences from Chattanooga to Charlottesville to New York City.”
