The Massachusettes rock/indie-folk band, Brendan Cooney (lead vocals/guitar), Ryan Cooney (drums), Dave Mozdzanowski (bass/bg vocals) and Shea Brennan (lead guitar) have maintained their hometown fan base in New England, while building a similar following in Southern Florida, where they resided for three years. In 2009, the band set out on the road for their first national tour – a full 50 dates across 25 different states. Since then, they’ve expanded their fan base across the country, playing shows from Florida to Washington and California to Massachusetts. In the past six months alone, the band has performed with such well-known acts as Rooney, The Maine, We the Kings, etc. The Gallery takes pride in sharing their music and passion with fans at live shows. It’s not hard to see or hear why.
Check out the band live this Friday at Arlene’s Grocery, 95 Stanton Street, NYC.
