Shinedown consists of Brent Smith on vocals, Eric Bass on bass, piano, and vocals, Zach Myers on guitar, and Barry Kerch on drums and formed in Florida in 2001. In the beginning, Shinedown was formed when Smith put together a group with himself, guitarist Jason Todd, bassist Brad Stewart, and Kerch. Todd and Stewart left the group in 2007 and 2008 and were replaced with Myers and Bass. Nick Perri had joined and left the group within 2008.
