Over the past five years, Hilltop has made a name for themselves with carefully crafted originals, mind bending improvisation & fun, diverse covers. Each member offers a proficient, unique approach to their instrument that defines the musical experience. This band of young musicians is eager to spread their music and continues to engage crowds wherever they go.
Hilltop is a four piece jam band based out of Albany. The group consists of brothers Stephen & Reid Perry, and their friends Aris Nieuwkerk and Dave Klang. The Perry brothers started playing rock music in high school with Aris, who met keyboardist/founding member George Scherck at music school in Schenectady, NY. Reid and Dave met downstate at Mercy College, and Stephen studied percussion at SUNY Fredonia before transferring to Mercy. The Five of them eventually started playing and writing before their first show in January of 2018 and released their self titled, self produced album a year later. George left the band back in 2019 but the band has continued to grow in his absence. With over 100 shows under their belt, Hilltop shows no signs of slowing down. Each member offers a proficient, unique approach to their instrument, defining the experience. This band of young musicians is ready to spread their music and will continue to engage crowds wherever they go.

Vertices is a four piece jam band, formed in Rochester, New York in 2022. They are an independent group that has a strong focus on instrumental music with high energy, and an emphasis on improvisation. Vertices’ goal is to create unique, creative, and powerful music all while presenting a live experience that is new and different each and every time.
Vertices’ first release, “Could’ve Been Worse”, as well as their subsequent releases “Unwound” and “Waxcap”, dropped during the summer of 2022 along with video of the band live at Small Cove Studios. Through these initial releases, Vertices demonstrates not only their technical ability as instrumentalists, but an entirely unique fusion of sounds that only this group can bring to the table.
