Artist description Arcadia is a band that has evolved over the past few years and is now beginning to develop a fan base out of the Winston Salem area of North Carolina. Calling the community of Arcadia their home, the band is becoming increasingly well known in the area. Three of the band's current members have been playing together as a band for four years now, and the addition of talented lead guitarist, Brad Carrick has strengthened and diversified the band's character. With Michael and Zack sharing lead vocal and songwriting duties, the band presents a unique blend of original material that spans the gap from classic rock and blues to punk and standard 90's rock. Arcadia also utilizes two and three part vocal harmonies in much of their material, and are backed up by the solid drum and percussion work provided by Richard.
