The Bands:

ANDY FRASCO & THE U.N.

“One of my biggest inspirations, Kobe Bryant, used to say don’t be bitter, be better,” says Andy Frasco. “So, I’ve always tried to be better every year. I’m not trying to stay still, I want to get better at every-thing in life. I’m not just plateauing. I’m going to keep fighting to be the best songwriter I can be. Because if you’re not evolving, you’re dying.”

Andy Frasco & The U.N. have long been the high-flying DIY renegades of the touring scene known and loved for their kaleidoscopic musical fusion, one-of-a-kind onstage audacity, and contagious party-animal energy.  The band’s recent full length LP ‘L’Optimist’ celebrates their longevity, while giving way to a wiser, but no less enthusiastic, artist and band leader who isn’t afraid to lean into the introspective and explore more difficult terrain, lyrically and emotionally.  “With so much bad news in the world, why not try to figure out a way to get out of the darkness,” Frasco says. “We’re not going to be able to change the world, but we can at least help the process along by being optimistic that the future will turn itself around. And if everyone changes their mind state about the future, then maybe we can change the world.”

Never one to sit on his laurels, the pandemic pushed Frasco into expansion, transforming his high energy roadshow into a blitz of new music, a 33 episode variety show (Andy Frasco’s World Saving ShitShow) which garnered 20 millions views, a highly attended digital Dance Party, and further development of his already successful and compelling podcast, Andy Frasco’s World Saving Podcast.  His variety show and podcast has featured interviews and musical performances by many notable guests such as Tony Hawk, Billy Strings, GRiZ, Bert Kreischer, Margaret Cho, Nathaniel Rateliff, Kamasi Washington and more.

Frasco continues to grow as a songwriter, band leader, and human being, steadfastly determined to keep on keeping on, pushing himself and his music to improve with every passing day.  Don’t miss out on the party → https://www.andyfrasco.com/

Buffalo based Roy G Biv formed in 2017 as a progressive idea of combining influences and genres into something greater than their individual parts. Driven by undertones of jam music and heavy funk grooves, this quartet comes heavily equipped on the rhythm section with long time duo Evan Waterstrat (Bass) and Tyler “Smidge” Midgley (Drums) providing ever-often saucy foundational flows; while Sean Thurman (Guitar) paints high mountains and deep caverns over those canvases. This allows Roy G Biv to seamlessly bend the genres to their will. With bits of improvisation sprinkled atop dance grooves, fat funk, hip-hop verses, soul vocals, and even hardcore breakdowns – the trio has not been known to shy away from much.
Roy G Biv released their first album “It’s About Time” in April of 2022, and is available to stream on all platforms. Through several years of working together Roy G Biv remains a creative force, where no two shows are the same. Roy G Biv is currently working hard on recording new content and playing across the NY area. Music is a language and allows for several conversations without words. Roy G Biv believes in the exploration and expression of oneself through music, atmosphere, great company and deep connections. We invite you to come and join in on the fun and celebrate Buffalo through sound and light.
