CYCLES :: Featured Artist, October 2016
October 3, 2016
Aahhh October… A time for change. A time for times to end and to usher in anew. A period we've seen before. A period of growth toward something bigger.
It's for good reason that we've chosen Cycles as COjam's Featured Artist for the month of October, 2016.
The Denver-based power trio, featuring Patrick Harvey (guitar), Michael Wood (drums), and Tucker McClung (bass/vocals), are on a musical mission to melt your mind. Self-described as “psychedelic rock fusion,” Cycles effortlessly blends rock, jazz, hip-hop, soul and more, creating a versatile soundscape that makes each live show utterly unique.
Striving for variety in each set, Cycles carefully construct a show designed to thrill. Each member brings a special set of skills and influences to the table. Living in the same house together and practicing hours upon hours each day has created a profound chemistry between the band members that shines in the live setting. Tucker McClung is a powerful commander of the bass who never shies away from applying the percussive nature of the instrument, all the while leading the show with powerful vocals. Michael Wood, with his tight and jazzy drum beats, works tirelessly to keep the band on track through intricate tempo changes and wide-open space. Patrick Harvey’s dominating guitar shred is what completes the band’s sound and often drives them to take the jams into outer space. The songs are written by all members of the band which adds yet another element of diversity to the end product. With humorous, relatable and illustrative lyrics, Cycles reaches out and touches their audience in a way that produces a feeling of harmony and community.
Throughout the last year, Cycles has picked up some serious steam around Colorado. Every show Cycles plays garners new fans. In January of 2016, the band released their first EP Loads Of Fun, which showcases their one-of-a-kind sound.
Stay tuned to COjam throughout the month of October to catch the latest news, media and tour dates from this hungry power trio.
