From blood-born howls to idiosyncratic phrasing, she is the big red dot saying You Are Here. The Nashville-based artist travels the lands of rock, afro punk, and country, squarely situated in the continent of the Blues. Ask about her artistic goals, and the songwriter/vocalist will say, “I want to shine a light on the unseen, and speak the unspeakable.” Adia Victoria is a truth teller. She admits, “I don’t necessarily paint myself in a flattering light. This isn’t the pop version of pretty or the strategically posed pretty-ugly. Sometimes I’m just ugly. There’s a brat in some of these songs, selfish, naïve, vengeful, but there’s also a tender eye that just wants the listener to feel seen and understood.” Rolling Stone Magazine featured Adia Victoria as one of “10 New Artists You Need to Know.” The Village Voice called her an “eerie, intriguing songwriter,” with “bone chilling guitar riffs and lyrics topped with candid scorn. Vogue highlighted the recording artist as one of “5 Beauties Who Answer to Afropunk’s Rebellious Call.”Adia Victoria is establishing a fresh reference point on the musical landscape.

If Harry Nilsson and Patsy Cline had a love child and left it in the forest to be raised by wolves, its cries would sound very similar to this music. Skookum Sean Salazar, Patrick Calilung, Brendan Tidd, Brian Shima -from Oakland, CA -Skookum is a Western Blues Garage band out of Oakland California. Consisting of the four members Sean Salazar, Patrick Calilung, Brendan Tidd and Brian Shima. Their sounds being influenced from The Soledad Brothers,The Range Rats, to old spaghetti western films with a modern twist. A stripped downraw sound keeps it unique and sets the mood from the beginning. |
