The Ophelias

The Ophelias are a band inspired by nostalgia, nature, the Midwest, horror movies, and the moon. They formed in Cincinnati, Ohio when Spencer Peppet (she/her) was a senior in high school. She recruited Mic Adams (he/him) on drums and Andrea Gutmann Fuentes (she/her) on violin, and Jo Shaffer (they/she) joined on bass a few years later. Their albums Creature Native (2015), Almost (2018), and Crocus (2021) have received praise from The New York Times, Pitchfork, Stereogum, and other major outlets. They have played with bands like Indigo de Souza, Julien Baker, Mannequin Pussy, Eliza McLamb, and comedian Cat Cohen; played festivals like SXSW, Treefort, and Nelsonville; and moved around the country, with members now living in New York, Chicago, and D.C. Their new album Spring Grove, produced by Grammy winner Julien Baker, is out April 4th on Get Better Records. The Ophelias are a joyfully queer band with predominantly queer and trans members, and they take pride both in their identities and vocally supporting queer & trans rights.
