Steadily building their artistic style and audience for the past five years, NJ-based alternative folk band Cold Weather Company (Cold Weather Collective LLC) carries a diverse sound, rich with harmonies and instrumental builds. The band combines the various writing approaches and influences of its three members, Brian Curry, Jeff Petescia, and Steve Shimchick, to create unique arrangements and intricate laying with three voices, two guitars, and a piano at the core. Press: "Two years in the making, this album is a superb example of indie excellence from amazing songwriters Brian Curry, Jeff Petescia, and Steve Shimchick. They are true peers of bands like Mumford & Sons, Coldplay and The Decemberists, and deserve the same industry attention. These songs are radio friendly and would be perfect for placement opportunities in film and television. The vocals are soaring over a majestic and sweeping musical background that keeps the listener invested, especially 'Do No Harm.' These songs need to be enjoyed over and over again." - Indie Voice Blog "These three are undoubtedly talented songwriters, and it is inspiring to see them approach what they do with such a tangible passion. It can be felt in every song and every time they talk about their art." - WPTS Radio, Pittsburgh Reviews: "CWC was a pleasure to work with. From the booking process to the event they were very accommodating, communicative and professional. Also they rock." - Corporate function in Brooklyn, NY "They were consummate professionals. The music is why we chose the band, and it was amazing & beautiful to hear live. They were the perfect blend of background music that you really want to stop your conversation to listen to, however their cover of Let It Be was so moving, it silenced the room. We could not have chosen better for our fundraiser." - Fundraiser, Ridgefield, CT Recognition: NJ.com's 31 Bands You Need to Hear (2016, 2017, 2019) Asbury Music Awards Nominees 2016-2018
