Beer-drinkin', guitar grindin' music for the masses. IC sounds like a cross between the Doors, Skynyrd, with a little bit of Rage mixed in. It's a talent that few artists have, but these boys have it down pat. -Tom Wheary, Shinbone Magazine

Details:
In late 2006, a band was formed called the Iroquois Confederacy, taking its name from the Native American history of the area. However, this band doesn't sound like anything I ever encountered in my time there, but I sure wish could have.

To understand the band, it's very simple. Their sound is described as beer-drinkin', guitar grindin' music for the masses, and they were right. Growing up listening to so many different types of music, Iroquois Confederacy sounds like a cross between the Doors, Lynyrd Skynyrd, with a little bit of Rage Against the Machine mixed in. These four men make it work beautifully so that one genre doesn't overpower the others. It's a talent that few artists have, but these boys have it down pat.

Guitarist/lead vocalist Jeff Heilman turns into a vocal chameleon, going from rock to soft blues without missing a beat. Lead guitarist Andy Adams plays that six-stringed instrument like Stevie Ray Vaughn one minute and Tom Morello the next. Add in basist Eric Spotts and drummer Chris Underkoffler keeping the peace and the music all together and the combination is incredible." -- Tom Wheary, Shinbone Magazine March 2009
