Electric smoke at Celebration Days festival 1

 Electric Smoke is a Heavy Blues & Biker Psych 4-piece from the Midwest that studies and creates their sound through the '68-'73 Underground heroes of Hard Rock/Psych-Blues era while bringing it forcefully into the 'Here and Now'. Electric Smoke brings a unique diversity of Rock'n'Roll to the forefront of their live performances; Frontman Landon Shayne McKibben has a huge vocal range from soulful heights to haunting lows backed by a history of a traveling choir. Guitarist Brock McKibben draws roots from Heavy Blues and Underground Early 70's Rock w/ fast leads and monster riffs alongside with Matt 'Frizz' Szafranski that has a bass-slapping Funk/Punk style that brings an intensity to the riffs that the two create together while sometimes even conjuring simultaneous leads. The latter is lined up and supported by ground-ponder Robby Stillings on drums making for great time keeping and heavy fills.
