Unified Field Theory formed in the summer of 2005
when Chuck and Brian met through a mutual friend at Clarks Ale House. They
jammed for a few months working with various musicians around Syracuse until
they found Todd Hess on a local musicians website. The three clicked and began
working on a select group of cover songs as well as writing original music
through improvisational jamming.
