New Jersey's Cold Weather Company blends the influences and experiences of three singer-songwriters (Steve Shimchick, Jeff Petescia, and Brian Curry) into a cinematic, storytelling soundscape. On "In Time"--CWC's fifth full-length album--the trio expands their distinctive alternative-folk foundation across 15 songs inspired by their collective and individual journeys. Love and respect for their craft, supplemented by a desire to contribute to the dynamic world of music, propels CWC as they prepare for their 12th anniversary. Since forming while students at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, the band has released over 70 original songs, earned more than 12 million digital streams, and performed across the US and UK.
