Artist Spotlight: Six Piece Suit

By James Staubes

Six Piece Suit is 5 piece band out of Marietta, GA.  Fusing rock, bluegrass, folk and country, their sound is influenced by Chris Tomlin, Charlie Hall, David Crowder, Keane and Coldplay.  The band formed in 2005 when friends Corey Brown and Nathan Wright started writing songs.  

Wright explains the process of forming Six Piece Suit, "Corey and I had written some stuff on our own for a few years before we even started playing together. Then we all got together in the summer of '06 and started really taking the time to write songs seriously."

The song, "Psalm 29," is a folk song full of twists and curves.  It takes a turn as it builds slowly into an all out worship song.  The opening acoustic guitar is reminiscent of the style from The Beatles and then the song builds into a U2 type of anthem.

"Redeemer of My Soul," was the band's first song.  "Corey brought the words to me telling me that he had written them after feeling like he was just stuck in a rut," says Wright.  The song is a prayer to God as it repeats, "I give up control."

Melody and vocal harmonies are a signature piece of Six Piece Suit's songs in addition to the fusion of genres.  Their sound is an original blend of music with earnest desire to bring glory to God.
