Sheldon consists of four people that are dedicated to writing the best music possible. We range in age from 21-25 and have been playing music together since we were teenagers. The group is very lucky in this respect. We have always been influenced by each other, and not by the flavor of the day sound. Sheldon brings an extremely different sound to the genre of hard rock. We combine great heavy riffs and grooves and memorable melodys with just the right amount of soft, quiet mood changes. Couple these elements with a vocal style that is original, in it's own space,(I mean completely different), and you have Sheldon.Band/artist history
Formed in South Carolina and hitting the music scene hard in 1994, Sheldon has continuously floored audiences from Florida and Georgia, through the Carolinas, to Tennessee and Virginia. Their debut CD Psycho de Lia, released in 1997, has sold over 2000 copies at shows and in regional record stores. Their second album, Sleeping With the Enemy, was released in the winter of 2000 and has receved great reviews. Sheldon's unique style combines in your face hard rock with almost reflective moments of calm and quiet. Singer Daniel Garvin's unique voice, simple melodies, and the groups use of harmonies attract audiences from all walks of life giving them a diverse fan base. However, the groups style is not based around the typical "flavor of the day" sound. Live performances are an explosion of lush sound and energy that exhibit the band's superb musicianship. Sheldon's sound is as true live as it is on their CDs. The group consists of four members: Daniel Garvin (bass & lead vocals), Hodgi Garvin (rhythm & lead guitar, backing vocals), Keith Smyly (drums), and Eric Bass (rhythm & lead guitar, backing vocals). Sheldon has performed with such national acts as: Corrosion of Conformity, Clutch, Machine Head, Suicidal Tendencies, Stuck Mojo, Acid Bath, Drown, Snot, Nation of Fear, The Misfits, and GWAR to name a few. They have enjoyed air play on stations such as: 96 Wave in Charleston, SC, The Rock Station 94.5 in Winston Salem, NC, Rock 102 in Savannah GA, and they have been featured on several compilation CD's including Deep South Records's Southern Slam disc. Sheldon has also been mentioned favorably on the nationally syndicated Howard Stern Radio Show. If you are interested in a group that is dead set on bringing validity and a sense of realism back to rock music, then Sheldon is guaranteed to deliver.Have you performed in front of an audience?Sheldon plays up and down the east coast. We mainly cover the southeast though. We play around 100 shows a year and have developed a good name for ourselves in the cities that we frequent. Some of our favorite places are Agusta GA, Winston Salem NC, Charleston SC, and Sahvanna GA. We love being on the road and enjoy the enteraction we have with our fans.
