HANZOLO w/ Side-B, The E-Block

HANZOLO is a 7-piece band from Upstate New York, toting an explosive and emotional sound that mixes soul, jazz, rock, and funk. Their songs are dance-ably fun with thoughtful lyrics, backed up by a bright horn section.

HANZOLO won the EQX Battle of the Bands and opened Albany’s annual Pearlpalooza music festival. The boys released their first album Table Butter in 2019 and followed it up with their second, HANZOLO, in the fall of 2021.

HANZOLO’s music has been compared to table butter; Soft enough to spread, yet hard enough to keep its shape.

Side-B Side-B is a 4-piece alternative rock band from Albany, New York with music littered with infectious guitar hooks and memorable vocal melodies that showcase a unique combination of vintage rock music and modern pop sensibilities.

The group consists of drummer Dylan Travison, bassist Eric Mitchell, guitarist AJ Horton, and vocalist Ian Justino. They built a local following as teenagers playing shows at venues in the Capital Region before releasing their debut, “The Low Budget Romance EP,” in the members’ senior year of high school. 

The E-Block is a 5-piece indie R&B band based in Upstate New York, blending the acoustic warmth of singer-songwriter music with an ice-cold rhythm section informed by modern R&B. Led by guitarist Luke Pascarella and saxophonist James Soren, the band's deep bag of influences and free-flowing style have earned them a reputation as a unique live act in New York's Capital Region scene.

Recently The E-Block has been nominated for 'Best R&B band' by both WCDB Radio and the Capital Region Thomas Edison Music Awards. With a rising fanbase and the debut of their newest self-produced EP 'Green', the band is gearing up for a busy season of shows throughout the Northeast.
