The Atkinsons are a rockin' americana band from Richmond, VA. Formed in 2003, their main focus was to write and perform their own brand of original music, as well as incorporate select cover songs that complement their roots rock style. Rooted in rock, touched by country, and rich in harmonies, The Atkinsons merge their signature sound with bittersweet tales of woe and heartbreak. Their originals are written with a hardcore honesty that chronicles America's lost and lonely souls and their life struggles and turmoil. Influences range from Whiskeytown, Old 97s and Son Volt - to Old Crow Medicine Show, The Avett Brothers and Scott Miller - to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Rolling Stones and Green Day.
My favorite bands and music:
Whiskeytown, Old 97s, Scott Miller and the Commonwealth, Old Crow Medicine Show, Son Volt, Drive By Truckers, Tom Petty, Green Day, Ryan Adams, Cross Canadian Ragweed, etc.
