Rodeo Barons & Angelina Valente

Rodeo Barons are an original roots-flavored, harmony-driven rock & roll band from Saratoga Springs. Originally formed in 2007, the group features Chris Carey and Mike O’Donnell on electric guitar and vocals, James Gascoyne on bass and vocals, and Sam Zucchini on drums and vocals. The band has drawn comparisons to the multi-layered vocal harmonies of CSNY, the roots-rock expressiveness of Wilco and the musical detours of Grateful Dead. Cutting their teeth with their long-standing weekly residency at the much beloved and now defunct One Caroline, they became a local favorite – at home on stages big and small due to their chameleonic nature and intense musicality.

Angelina Valente is a singer-songwriter from Upstate New York who creates music that moves you.
