The Band

Bio

Sight of Theia was founded by Alex Buhlig in sweaty basements in East Atlanta Village.  Over years of refining the lineup and sound, he found Ricky Shenkmen as drummer, Charles Von Kanel as an additional guitarist, and Bill Pritchard as his bassist.  This lineup went on to release, ‘Lighthouse,’ the first studio EP associated with the project.  This group went onto preform and gig around the Atlanta metro area with these songs.  While doing this they started writing with the intention of being an instrumental band moving forward, these songs would go onto to become their debut album, ‘The Great Dreamer.’  Upon release in 2025, the instrumental version of the album caught the attention of Haden Rider.  An experienced member of the musical theater community in Atlanta, Haden brings his deep well of knowledge of vocal arrangements to the band.  With a line up complete, Sight of Theia are currently preparing to release the version of ‘The Great Dreamer,’ featuring Haden Rider singing lead vocals on all the songs.
