CARELESS SHERMAN
CARELESS SHERMAN is an Indie band based out of Nashville, TN. As always with music, people want to categorize music into a very tiny little box to describe it. Musicians and Bands hardly ever want to put their music into that box but they recognize that if they don't, someone else will.
So here it is... CARELESS SHERMAN is indeed a band based out of Music City U.S.A. but is not to be confused with the signed acts that Music Row is putting out these days. There are elements of Rock, Country, Blues, and Pop in CARELESS SHERMAN'S music, but the sound is much more in the spirit of Seventies Southern California Rock Bands. Take all your influences and combine them into your own music. Don't worry about trends or fitting neatly into one genre. If it's supposed to rock, then let it rock. If a song is telling a story that lends itself more to an acoustic vibe, then make it that way. In other words, in a True Independent Spirit, just make the music you want to make as an artist and make it as good as you possibly can. That pretty much sums up CARELESS SHERMAN.
