SnöShü

While SnöShü is heavily inspired by jam bands of the past and present, they would say they are more of a “band that likes to jam”. Along with their influence from jam bands, almost all the members come from varying musical backgrounds and roots, creating an interesting song experience for the listeners. With heavy focus on writing songs that hook you in, they also love to take you on improvised journeys that can take a song where you never expected it, just to take right back to the part that hooked you in to begin with
