ABOUT

Sym & The Shady Branch Band are looking for a drummer as our old drummer has moved abroad.
This 5-piece band formed in 2020 and hail from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, UK. The band is a unique, eclectic mix of original gritty rock and R&B, whose portfolio of soul-searching songs feature raunchy guitar, groove-centric bass lines, kicking drums and dynamic keyboards. With a soulful, gravelly vocal range, lead singer Sym released his first album Wishes From An Empty Glass in 2020, followed by 3 more singles in 2021, Way Lad, Bounce Down, Daredevil Gadsby’s and Dice Night in 2022.
Rooted by the value of creating sounds that blend the boundaries of music genres, Sym established the band with a desire to produce music made for live audiences. The band are currently collaborating with music writer and producer Nick Pasztor to create their next album, set for release later in the year.

We’ve played at many venues and festivals including Exfest, Woodstock Live, Devafest, The Sonic Rock Fest, Beeses, Gloucester Rhythm & Blues Fest and Tewkesbury Live and to top it all, we released our latest single – ‘Box Of A Trillion Souls’ earlier in the year which is available on all major music platforms including Spotify and YouTube.

If you like the music, please get in touch? The aim is to play festivals and events in the coming months.

I have sung in many cover bands singing anything from Soul (60's), Rock, Rock n Roll and Modern. I have also been in rock musicals in the West End, London including Miss Saigon, JCS (Concert and Rep), Evita (No. 1 UK Tour).
Previous bands include, The Rag n Bone Men, The Crisis, Under The Covers (12 Piece Soul band, Commitments style) and Bones and The Brass Clinic.
