Weatherspoon

About Me

Nashville-based Weatherspoon draws from over a decade of experience to cultivate a no-nonsense pop-rock sound , focussing on heavy hooks, soaring harmonies, infectious rythym, and crunchy guitar. The band has received praise both on the local and national level for their EP "Til The Neighbors Call Again" called "a singularly self assured and gutsy pop-rock jaunt" (-Nashville Rage) that "rocks hard with furious churning guitar, slamming drumming, and punk tenor vocal aggression." (-Robert Oermann). Visit weatherspoonmusic.com for more info.
