With a sound labeled "Motor City Dixie" by the band, Snoblynd combines the Detroit and Southern Rock movements, with an unmistakable outlaw country attitude on their debut Cd "Dirty Water".
Inspired by the lack of inspiration for today’s music, Snowblynd took to the stage with reckless abandon in 1998. With a sound labeled “Motor City Dixie” by the band, Snowblynd provides listeners with real, rooted rock ‘n roll and an unmistakable outlaw country attitude. These influences are not only present in their music, but are also present in their live performances as well. Snowblynd is the opiate of the rock ‘n roll purist and a rude awakening for those entranced by the commercially bland music alternatives of today.
Snowblynd began as a group of teenagers born into the wrong generation who wanted to hear and play real rock ‘n roll for real rock ‘n roll fans. Brad Williams - vocals, Ryan Smith - guitar, Greg Wyld - guitar, and Barry Damron - drums, began honing their craft in local clubs and lounges, and generating a decent amount of buzz while struggling to find a bass player who shared their vision. During their very first show, there were more people in the bar than ever before. They also won the Columbus Battle of The Bands competition in 1999.
Snowblynd began recording their debut CD without a bass player when they stumbled upon the perfect solution: head engineer and bass player Joe Viers. Joe filled in on bass for a few songs during the recording, and the chemistry between them all was undeniable. It didn’t take long for Joe to become a permanent member. The recent addition of Nate Hollman and his Hammond B3 has polished the band off with the perfect, finishing touch and has created a unique sound that no one else has in Columbus. Their talent and fan base helped them land opening slots for national acts like Black Label Society, Bret Michaels, Jackyl, David Allen Coe, Molly Hatchet, Whitelion, Union, and the Bullet Boys.
Their debut CD, Dirty Water, was released in March 2007. The CD release party was held at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio and over 600 people showed up to help celebrate. Snowblynd has been featured on the Local Stuff hour on WBZK The Blitz 99.7FM, the Wags & Elliot Morning Show on WLVQ Q96.3FM, on WWCD CD101FM, along with various radio stations in France and Germany, and are a featured artist on Allsouthernrock.com.
Rock ‘n Roll by definition is timeless. The great songs cannot be dated by simply listening, and will live on forever. Playing what’s in your heart and giving it everything you have is not a gimmick, nor a fad. Kid Rock once said, “If it sounds good, you’ll hear it. If it’s marketed right, you’ll buy it; but if it’s real, you’ll feel it.” This is what Snowblynd is all about.
Playing live is what Snowblynd does best.Snowblynd requires a large stage and they use it all.That's the point of playing high energy rock n roll is to play it live and loud.Snowblynd has opened for several national acts.Some great moments were meeting Zakk Wyld and David Allan Coe.
Snowblynd is influenced by greatness. It is not a diverse list of artists as are some bands because Snowblynd has allways known exactly what they liked and what they wanted.
