Atlanta Bands – Shoulda Woulda Coulda

Bio:

Shoulda Woulda Coulda is composed of long-term veterans of several Atlanta bands, each possessing a unique musical style derived from diverse influences. The result is a unique sound that is hard to definitively categorize – songs range from blues/rock to rockabilly to funk, with other elements mixed in for good measure. In essence, we play original, catchy songs that fuse our unique musical backgrounds, and we cover some of the great songs that influenced us along the way.

We recently finished recording the “Relatively Painless” sessions at Nickel and Dime studios – a storied venue which has hosted Athens and Atlanta bands such as the B-52’s, The Indigo Girls, Sister Hazel, Shawn Mullins, and Third Day. The demo was mastered by Rodney Mills, a legendary engineer and producer that has worked with such acts as Greg Allman, George Clinton, 38 Special, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Doobie Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Journey, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, and others.

We hope you like what you hear – if you do please drop us a comment. Thanks for stopping by!
