Dillon Fence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dillon Fence was a rock band based in the east coast of the USA in the mid 80's to 1995. They have been described as "a key band in the tres chic Chapel Hill, North Carolina, scene".

The band released three full-length albums (Rosemary, Outside In and Living Room Scene) and two CD singles on Mammoth Records. They also released an EP "Dillon Fence" on their own label, Nocar. In 2004, MoRisen released their greatest hits CD, which included an EP of new material.

Singer/songwriter Greg Humphreys' songs have been covered by bands like Hootie and the Blowfish, who used to open for them, and Letters to Cleo. The band was also made up of drummer Scott Carle, guitarist Kent Alpin and bassist Chris Goode. Trent Pitts played drums on the original EP.

In December, 2000 they regrouped for a 3-date tour and recorded a double-CD album Live at the Cat's Cradle. They also did summer reunion tours in 2004 and 2005 to support the greatest hits album.

Greg Humphreys now leads a soul-funk group called Hobex.

Trivia - Dillon Fence derives its name from a regionally famous landmark fence made by local artists in the town of Dillon, SC. Prior to more recent highway bypass construction, Dillon was, and still is to a lessened extent, a fuel stop on the Charlotte - Wilmington - Myrtle Beach circuit traveled by many unsigned and local bands.
