I Need You Here

In another era, the individual members of The Riflery would have been artists, philosophers, and explorers. They’d have carefully painted detailed landscapes, questioned life’s struggles through prose, or jumped speeding trains in the night. But being twenty-somethings in the 21st century, their energetic and thoughtful nature has manifested through their voices and instruments into powerful music that finds hope from the not so beautiful moments in life. With sounds that evoke the likes of Jimmy Eat World, Jack’s Mannequin, Augustana, and The Script, singer Shannon McArthur aims to join listeners in wrestling with the big questions of a restless generation.

McArthur, now 28, has achieved success on his own in the music industry as a producer and songwriter for several years. It was sheer serendipity, though, that brought him to meet songwriter/vocalist Sam Bowler and guitarist Shanan Lau two years ago in the streets of San Francisco while passing through on separate road trips. Since then, long-distance songwriting sessions and conversations about The Joshua Tree finally compelled Sam from California and Shanan from Seattle to manifest their passion into an alternative rock band in Nashville. Together with Jordan Fitzsimmons (drums) and Jonny Riggs (bass), they form The Riflery.

Though just having formed mid November 2015, the band has hit the ground running to finish recording their debut EP, Falcon, with producers Aaron Sprinkle, Joshua Crosby, and Jon Kaplan. They have just completed their first tour with fellow Nashville rock band The New Schematics in January, and plan on continuing to promote their EP through touring nationwide until the Fall, when they will return to the studio to finish and record their first full length record.
