Bluephonic is an Atlanta-based band with its roots in
the blues, but their debut album is undeniably
multi-genre. This release contains various styles of
blues seasoned with elements of jazz, funk, swamp, and
rock. Their guitar-driven sound centers around
tastefully restrained riffs and a rock-solid rhythm
section. The grooves are infectious and the vocals are
powerfully soulful. If you love the blues but like to
venture beyond the standard three-chord turnaround,
Bluephonic is for you!
Bluephonic started out as a trio of musician friends
getting together for acoustic jams on one of the
memberÆs back porch in the Spring of 2003. Nicole
Petersen (Vocals), Steve Sheckels (Guitar), and Leigh
Barrett (Guitar and Vocals) had performed in different
bands around the Atlanta area but never all in the same
band at the same time.
What was happening on the porch sounded and felt so
good the next step was logical. Gary Davis, another
friend, was interested in adding bass and somehow Paul
Cottrell was found to play drums and percussion.
There is a definite buzz around Atlanta thatÆs being
caused by the release of their debut cd, ôDonÆt Let The
Door Hit Ya.ö There are 12 original songs on the cd,
mostly penned by Steve with some assistance from Nicole
and 1 written by Leigh. The remaining 2 tunes are
covers of Tony Joe WhiteÆs ôUndercover Agent For The
Bluesö and one originally recorded by kd lang, ôBusy
Being Blue.ö Special guest Vic "Trola" Misiewicz lends
his considerable harp skills to 3 of the tracks, as
well. Each song is unique and combines elements of
several genres of music to arrive at a sound that can
only be described as Bluephonic.
