entheos

entheos came into being in 2001. What began as a brother and sister singer-songwriter duo, is now a full electronica band. Growing up in a musical family, siblings Alison and Carl Shepard had been singing together since they were kids. The very first band Alison and Carl were a part of was a cover band called the Rockefellers, a 5 piece band with Carl on vocals and bass, and Alison on vocals and keyboard. Playing with the talented guitar players, Gary Ruble and Jay Phillips (cousins), it was here that Alison and Carl first gained the confidence and inspiration to begin writing original music. They wrote their first song together when Carl was 15. After more than 4 years with Gary and Jay in the Rockefellers, Alison and Carl moved on to form entheos. They began playing acoustic shows in coffee shops and art galleries, writing more music, and hatching dreams of recording an album. Then in 2002 entheos met producer, Paul J. Falk and started working on ideas for recording their first e.p. After Alison completed grad school and Carl completed his studies at the Recording Workshop in Chillicothe, OH, the first self-titled entheos e.p. was released in 2004. Working with Falk helped lay the groundwork for entheos moving into the world electronica. Still rooted in their singer-songwriter beginnings, entheos kept their love for catchy melodies, and was now morphing the song structures into trip-hop rhythms. In 2005, Alison and Carl met drummer, Justin Webb, who has added an important energy, and passionate level of musicianship to the band.Interested in booking entheos?Please contact entheos via email: [email protected]. or [email protected] Our debut album is now for sale on the internet!
