Shades is a genre-blending band rooted in feel, chemistry, and intention—creating music that moves with both soul and purpose. Built on live instrumentation and collective energy, their sound is as expressive as it is grounded.
Based in Cincinnati, the band brings together a dynamic group of musicians, including vocalist Mic. Carr alongside Sam Reuscher (bass), Tristan Graves (keys), Elijah Woodward (sax), Isaiah Cook (drums), and Trent Becknell (guitar). Together, they represent a natural evolution—where individual artistry meets a shared vision. As a collective, Shades continues to expand, often collaborating with additional musicians who contribute to its ever-growing sound.
With their debut single “Shades” released in April 2026 and a full EP in June, the band is stepping into a new era—one defined by connection, growth, and undeniable feel.
Shades isn’t just heard—it’s felt.
