History

Fiddlehead released their first EP in 2014, titled Out of the Bloom.[2] In 2018, Fiddlehead signed to the Boston record label Run for Cover Records and released their debut full-length album titled Springtime and Blind. In 2021, they released their second full-length on Run for Cover, Between the Richness.[3][4][5][1][6][7]

The band rarely participates in full-length tours; this is often due to Patrick Flynn working full-time as a high school history teacher.[8] The band does regularly tend to commit to one-off shows or small weekend tours focused on a single region.
