THE SHADOWBOXERS WITH CICADA RHYTHM

The Atlanta-based Shadowboxers have a passion for captivating lyrics, tight harmonies, and soulful vocals. Founding members Scott Schwartz, Matt Lipkins, and Adam Hoffman experienced an almost-instantaneous musical compatibility when they first started jamming. Together with drummer Cole McSween and bassist Carlos Enamorado, they've forged a cohesive sound based on a shared reverence for the strong, taut harmonies of Simon & Garfunkel, D'Angelo, and The Beatles. This young band's unified sound has an R&B-soaked, smart perspective replete with an abundance of vocal talent and songwriting skill. In the short time the quintet has been playing together, The Shadowboxers have found a collective voice that is intelligent, soulful, and catchy.

If you have never heard of CICADA RHYTHM probably asked yourself where this soulful blend of folksy song-writing, finely-crafted musicianship, and chilling vocal harmonies came from. Andrea DeMarcus, freshly arrived back home from New York, where she studied upright bass at Julliard, first met David Kirslis as he was tumbling off an Athens-bound freight train. When she first heard the way his bluesy, Atlanta-influenced guitar picking resonated over her rolling deep bass lines, a musical romance took root in the Georgia soil. Today, Cicada Rhythm plays regularly in venues all over Athens and Atlanta and has toured throughout the Southeast. Their harmonious blend of unique styles continues to win them an ever-increasing audience.
