Smokehowl: A Symphony of Collaboration in Michigan’s Music Scene
In the heart of Michigan’s thriving local music scene, the name Smokehowl resonates with a blend of originality and collaborative spirit. This ensemble, more of a joint venture than a band in the conventional sense, came into the limelight when musician Rob Coonrod teamed up with talented individuals to create something unique and captivating.
In February 2020, Rob Coonrod, alongside producer Matt Koeplin, Chelsea Marsh, Shane Brigham, Zeke Clemons, and Brian Arnold, embarked on a musical journey that culminated in the creation of a collaborative album. This album, a mix of original compositions and cover songs, was brought to life at Studio Anatomy, with Brian Chamberlain handling the recording and engineering tasks.
The beauty of Smokehowl lies in its collaborative essence. Each member brought their flavor of musical expertise to the table, making the album a tapestry of diverse musical expressions. The venture didn’t end with the album; Smokehowl continued their collaborative essence well into 2021, releasing several more songs that echoed the same original spirit.
