Villarreal is an Atlanta-based psychedelic blues rock band that everyone should have on their radar. With Kiira Shackelford on drums, her younger brother Luke on bass, and Heidi Woods on vocals, their sound is both nostalgic and new. I can’t wait to hear more songs from them. Get to know Heidi and Kiira in the season finale of Records Near Me! And catch Villarreal live April 10th at Boggs Social Supply in Atlanta or April 11th at Sounds of the Springs in Milledgeville, GA.
