Voodoo Visionary is an improvisational funk/dance band from Atlanta, GA. Deep grooving bass, funky evolving drum beats, smooth intricate keys, and screaming guitar solos come together to create a sound the group calls psychofunk. Influenced by a wide array of artists such as the Grateful Dead, Talking Heads, Galactic, The New Mastersounds, STS9, Gov’t Mule, Medeski Martin and Wood, and others, Voodoo Visionary has a uniquely blended sound that’s guaranteed to put the ‘oogie in yo boogie.

The band is made up of Scott MacDonald (vocals), Mike Wilson (guitar), Zach Robinson (guitar), Dennis Dowd (keys), Jimmy Lynch (bass), and Mac Schmitz (drums). The guitars, bass and drums in the band have been jamming together for over 8 years, during which time they built a unique chemistry that allows for exceptional improvisation during live shows. Scottie Mac joined the group in July 2013 as the lead vocalist and Voodoo Visionary began writing new music and playing shows immediately. Dennis joined the band in March 2014 providing the missing link that ties this unique sound together.

The band finished up their inaugural year in 2013 by performed on New Year’s Eve at Smith’s Olde Bar, one of Atlanta’s oldest bars and premier music venues, where they opened up for Zach Deputy. They have also shared the stage with acts such as Col. Bruce Hampton, Full Service, Johnny Awesome, The Orange Constant, and numerous other local acts in Atlanta and Athens. Currently, the band is playing shows around the Atlanta area and preparing to enter the studio in July 2014 to record their first EP.
