Shawn-

I wanted to take a second here and talk about the part of the conversation you brought up about having to tell and sell the Story of Stokeswood. So let me take a second to tell it.

Stokeswood is and always will be a very special group.  Stokeswood is not an overnight YouTube sensation or viral success that won't be around in two weeks; we are a group of brothers who have been working together the better part of a decade. We are a band that has built not just a fan base, but a family, one which grows bigger and stronger every single day. Going into this 3rd release with two full lengths and additional single releases behind us (2009, 2011), we built our loyal fan base on the back of 3 years of indie touring all over this beautiful country.  Stokeswood's lead singer, Adam Patterson, is the one-in-a-billion pairing of an amazing voice and an amazing poet.  Adam's lyrics have struck with a chord with all walks of life as the underlying theme of the human struggle is something everyone can easily identify with. Wrapped up in a sound that can only be called Stokeswood is a current sounding pop band with enough Indie and EDM flavor to be marketable to numerous musical demographics.

Back to Back (2013, 2014) Winner’s of Creative Loafing's Best Local Rock Act (alongside Best Mainstream Act: Outkast and Best Country Act: Zac Brown Band)

 Stokeswood is a marvel to watch, as they switch between instruments, giving up their spot on keys, synths and guitar like a game of musical chairs, all the while keeping up an irresistible, danceable backbone to the imaginative melodies and powerhouse, gut-wrenching vocals of Adam Patterson. The band undeniably owns the room with their unique unpredictable sound, expressive beats and high-energy presence. Their songs are infused with confidence in a sound that can only really be called Stokeswood.

 Stokeswood averaged 150+ shows on the road in 2012, 2013, and 2014, and are set to keep the same pace in 2015 behind their upcoming and highly anticipated release “2075”. The nonstop touring has earned Stokeswood a name among music lovers all along the east coast. Stokeswood receives radio support from both 100.5 and 107.5 FM in their hometown Atlanta. In addition to a live on-air performance on NBC's Good Morning Miami, Stokeswood's collaboration with French DJ duo Jidax "Legacy" signed to S2 Records and was featured on world famous DJ Tiesto's podcast (among other FM and online radio stations.)
