"The Endless Summer Festival @ The Masquerade"

" Dramatic progressive rock songs filled with emotion and range. I was riveted by Kris Sherer’s performance style. It’s very internal. His eyes are closed throughout most songs and he rarely looks to the audience during his performance. You feel like you’re witnessing an experience instead of watching a performance. My only complaint (which sometimes happens in progressive rock) was that his vocals was too often lost in the sea of guitar riffs. It’s a problem in their live performance as well as in their recorded tracks. In the end, I didn’t care. I loved it." - Me Like Good Music

Bio

Progressive-experimental band Third Candle began as a high school project in the suburbs of Atlanta back in 2004 when lead guitarist Bobby Gray and drummer Chase Boyer started jamming around dropped D guitar riffs and alternate time signatures. Eventually the pair recruited original bass player Michael Tillman. After a short time, current bassist Brock LaCroix joined the project and the three began playing small instrumental shows around metro-Atlanta. When vocalist Kris Scherer was added in 2009, the band’s sound shifted from songs laden with dark, eerie instrumental passages to slightly brighter, emotional-based compositions, still retaining a heavy element of thick distortion and a strong bottom end. After the addition of Scherer, they began working on their EP Puzzles of the Ocean, released in 2010. Tillman rejoined on guitar and keys for the release of their first LP, Puzzles of the Ocean, in 2011. Puzzles features an eclectic array of choral guitar-work, percussive drumming, and strikingly raw power vocals. The band currently resides in Atlanta.
