Most bands survive by evolving over time, but the ones that last beyond a trend are those who constantly reinvent themselves. Atlanta-based Stokeswood have effortlessly tapped into this recipe for success in the fickle and wavering world of music. Stokeswood doesn’t abide by the notion of “stick to what works.” Instead, the sextet is willing to try anything and makes it all work by injecting their charisma and infectious vivacity into every musical metamorphosis it can muster.

From the studio to the stage, Stokeswood remains sublimely unpredictable, venturing throughout acoustic, electronic, soul, and dance rock territories that seem to fit any of the multiple stage personas conjured up by the band. Costumes and spontaneity are alluring, but it’s Stokeswood’s characteristic traits that stand out, particularly the magnificent and soul-gripping vocals of Adam Patterson and the effervescent raw energy produced by the collaborative creative force of each Stokeswood member.

The stage is where Stokeswood shines most brightly. “We want to be innovative. Everything for us is about not doing the norm. But then the unique stuff becomes the norm,” says Patterson. This drives Stokeswood to constantly push beyond the parameters of comfort, aspiring to remain original and engaging.
