I have always liked Bad Weather States, I was first introduced to them through a mutual contact who worked for a music management company in the southeast. Songs like “Little Man”,  “Mezzanine”, and “January” captured my ear and respect right out the gate. Not only a great South Carolina band and group of musicians but also some very nice guys who seem to genuinely love their hometown, community, and friends.

 

Bad Weather States was the brainchild of five young men from the Lakelands of South Carolina. Having played together in various forms throughout the years, they came together in their passionate search for an outlet to write and create original, inspired music. The Southern Americana influence in their art was ever-present and inescapable. Fused with injections of soul, blues and harder influences these combinations gave them presence and solid credibility.

 

As the group's guitarist and lead vocalist, Granger Smith, stated in an interview, "our bass player, Austin Landers, has a knack for adding input to our original music that makes you listen. He could do it on his own, but has chosen to ride with us. Will Thompson – all the girls blush and giggle – is Will Thompson. That’s all you can say about him. I think if you say his name in this town, people know whom you’re talking about and what he does. Nic Massey can play just about any instrument you put in front of him, he does an incredible job of fiddling around with a chord progression that later turns into our next original. Duane Terry’s last name may as well be Allman."

In the fall of 2017, the group released its first album, “Nolichucky”, consisting of ten original songs. A collection of solid material that introduced Bad Weather States to the world as a capable group of talented musicians. A second release followed quickly in 2018, simply titled, “Bad Weather States”, it presented five well-crafted songs that displayed an evident growth in the bands songwriting and playing skills. Single song releases followed in 2020 with the release of digital downloads for “6-1-3”, “Equity”, and finally the 2021 single “January”, a beautiful and interesting offering.
