The R3flectors The R3flectors are Jonathan Birchfield, Shane Cooper, and Greg Simmons — high school bandmates who have been playing together since 1983, under different names, starting out as an 80s covers band that traveled nationally. The original songs are about reflecting on a life well lived — the good years and the hard ones, written by a seasoned band that likes to play for the happy-hour audience. They enjoy opening spots for listeners who are in the room with a glass of wine. Their sound draws from The Police, U2, and Dire Straits: clean, melodic rock built for a live room. Shane writes the lyrics. Cooper and Birchfield create the songs, including Umbrella of Love, Stardust, Gratitude, and Concierge of Life. Birchfield’s voice and guitar sit against Cooper’s bass. Greg brings his rhythm and a lovable personality into the drum lines, and adds vocal harmonies that fill the voids. Home is the Catawba Valley. They play venues like Hickory Premiere, Hickory Wine Shoppe, and Olde Hickory Tasting Room, along with other local stages, often with friends from the same circuit.
