about
On a cold night in October, Brandon Pfeltz and Michael Perrie Jr. formed Schucks Road while stranded in the blackout of New York City during Hurricane Sandy. Their first song was written by candlelight while the rain pounded against the window of their apartment building on Roosevelt Island. Their music is a direct result of their hometown upbringing in Maryland, and the songs that have inspired them by artists such as Josh Ritter, Glen Hansard, The Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons, and Johnny Cash. Their songs are a wholesome blend of folk and pop with country roots, relying on tuneful harmonies, bittersweet lyrics, and soaring melodies while maintaining a sense of nostalgia. Schucks Road has been described as having the warmth of a campfire sing-along combined with a down-home feel and city sensibilities. In the spring of 2013, they started recording their first crowd-funded studio EP “One By Land” in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Their first single “Chasing Stars” was released in June, with the full EP following in July. They’ve been steadily booking gigs all over New York City at venues such as The Ella Lounge, Parkside Lounge, and the legendary Bitter End on Bleecker Street.
