TOWN STREET CRIERS formed in New York City in 2015 when singer / songwriter
Doug Roesch teamed up with three recent Berklee School of Music alums: Erik
Kramer, Ricky Petraglia, and Ryan Duchene. The four piece band grew over the
years, adding members, and TOWN STREET CRIERS became a musical collective
that often feels more like a family than a band. Like many families, the band
members are spread out all over the I-95 Corridor, and each have multiple music
projects of their own, but still try to get together and perform several times a
year.
THEY THEY: Is an indie / queer / art pop / duo that writes songs and performs on
guitar, casiotone, synth, and vocals.
KESSINGER formed in 2019 as the backing band for Massachusetts based blues
singer, Lester “Peach Fuzz” Hoyt. After Lester’s unfortunate passing, KESSINGER
endured a two year hiatus until 2024 – when Clancy Conlin joined and
subsequently relocated the band to Rhode Island. Albeit with a rotating cast of
band members, KESSINGER carries on the songs and spirit of Lester Hoyt to this
day.
