The genesis of Earth Groans was during a deeply tumultuous period in Schaeffer’s life. As he details “I was going through what a lot of young people go through as they grow up. A lot of things I thought I was enjoying just turned out to be empty. Things in my life both professionally and personally just weren’t fulfilling to me anymore. That’s what Renovate is about, doing work on yourself and getting down to the bare foundation. For me that foundation is my faith.”
Rounded out by Brady Mueller (drums), Zachariah Mayfield (guitar) and Kaden Burton (bass), Earth Groanshas toured relentlessly, many times on their own.
As Schaeffer relates “South Dakota gets skipped a lot on big national tours. As a result we don’t have a huge scene for our style of music but we love playing shows anywhere. When people complain about their scene and say it’s kind of dead, we say the scene isn’t dead until we are.”
