Chester French is an American indie pop band consisting of lead vocalist and songwriter Andrew “D.A.” Wallach and multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Maxwell Drummey.

They met as college students at Harvard University, naming their band after sculptor Daniel Chester French, who designed the statue at the Lincoln Memorial, the John Harvard statue, as well as the Minuteman statue at the Lexington/Concord battlegrounds in Massachusetts.

Milwaukee-raised Wallach and Boston native Drummey quickly found a lot of shared ground in musical tastes and philosophies and before long formed a band with three other classmates, playing various campus functions, eventually moving in a direction heavily influenced by classic British Northern Sou.

The group has collaborated with Talib Kweli and singer Res for their song “Fall Back,” a song released during the waning days of the Democratic primaries that was aimed at Hillary Clinton. The song appeared on the political website “The Daily Kos.”Chester French also released a mix-tape via their official website at ChesterFrench.com/mixtape., titled “Get Familiar with Chester French — Jacques Jams Vol. 1: Endurance”, includes new and exclusive material that will tell the story of one of the most anticipated groups of 2009

Their debut album, Love the Future, was released with Star Trak/Interscope Records on April 21, 2009. The duo produced and engineered the album themselves in their college dorm at Harvard College.
