Joe Olnick Band
The Joe Olnick Band is a quartet that writes and performs original, groove-based instrumental jazz/funk, in the vein of the New Mastersounds, Phish and Medeski Martin & Wood. The band takes themes from their recordings and jams them out live for a unique experience. They will interpret at least a couple of covers in each set, but are primarily original.
Experienced band members have played venues such as World Cafe Live (Philadelphia), York Fairgrounds, Wetlands (NYC) in various projects over the years.
