The Diving Bell

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 consists of husband-and-wife duo Steve and Clare Hendershot, along with Graham Gilreath, Charles Murphy and Jake Gordon; the Chicago-based band has been featured on WGN Radio and AmericanSongwriter.com. 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.
