Stoplight Observations @ Asheville Music Hall 9-16-2016
Home-grown Charleston, SC band Stop Light Observations (a.k.a. SLO) started playing together at the age of 13 when songwriter and pianist John Keith “Cubby” Culbreth asked guitarist Louis Duffie the iconic teenager boy question, “Wanna start a band?” His response was, “Yes.”
The young years were spent writing songs with captivating melodies and meaningful lyrics. The duo picked up childhood friends Luke Withers and Will Blackburn to “play dem’ drums and sing dem’ songs!” Over time they added Coleman Sawyer on bass and fiddle and Wyatt Garrey on lead guitar, which formulated the powerful six-piece band known today as Stop Light Observations.
SLO has been described as Southern-Retro-Electro-Rock with influences of Classic, Revival, Psychedelic, Garage, and Arena Rock, with Indie, Motown, Hip-hop and Folk flares.
They are driven by the thrill they get from performing and writing songs, but the camaraderie among these lifelong friends is what keeps them close.
SLO plans on furthering their impact on the national music fan community while having some fun and changing some lives for the good while they’re at it.
