One Piece Puzzle
The three piece rock band, One Piece Puzzle from NE Ohio, originally started out as a jam session for musicians, Barry Davis (Vocals/Guitar), Casey Ady (Bass/Backing Vocals) and Peter Heroux (Drums/Backing Vocals). All three were activity gigging with tribute bands and other projects. When the pandemic hit in 2020 and gigs were canceled, they decided to focus on writing more original songs and turning the project into something more. They started out releasing a few singles in 2016 but since then have actively released several more singles and a few EPs over the last few years. Building on that momentum, the band has finally been working up a live setlist to perform shows in 2023. They are currently working on new music that is expected to be released later this year.
Like the name, One Piece Puzzle can be super simple yet overly complicated in terms of the musical content. The band draws inspiration on personal topics of life through experiences and observation. The songs are always written with meaningful lyrics, intelligently crafted arrangements and produced in a way that delivers more for the listeners ears. Musical influences vary from song to song so you never truly know what is coming next.
So what does a One Piece Puzzle mean? That is quite possibly the most complicated puzzle of all.
