Super Culture

“Somewhere over a hill…”
Upon their departure from their previous band, Wylie Green (bass) and Andy Boldry (lead
guitar) envisioned a new project with an exciting, revolutionary sound. With the additions of Jim
Henzey (vocals) and Andrew Wegierski (percussion), Super Culture began working on their
debut album, telling stories about isolation, the delicate human condition, and the end of the
world. Set to a multi-genre setlist of pop, art rock, and psychedelic elements, Super Culture is
thrilled to debut their long-awaited live performances for audiences everywhere.
Follow the band on Facebook, Bandsintown, and Instagram (@super.culture.official) or visit

live show information.

Tedesco Knows Best

Hailing from Niagara Falls, NY, Tedesco Knows Best is rock group featuring Thomas Tedesco (lead vocals, guitars) and Connor Best (bass, guitars) along with band members, Collin Lacki (keyboards, vocals) and Dylan Howard (drums). Inspired by artists such as Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, America, and Bryan Adams, they have a vintage yet timeless sound.

They forged the beginning of their musical journey with the worldwide release of their debut EP, “All Around Us,” to all major streaming platforms and CD on April 9, 2021.

The lead-off single, “Starry Eyes,” described by Nielsen’s David Universal as “a rock- leaning ballad” garnered airplay on its first day of release and is in current rotation on 91.3 WBNY FM in Buffalo, NY.

Songs from the “All Around Us” EP have also received airplay on: 98.5 WYTX-FM in Rock Hill, South Carolina, 91.3 WAPS-FM in Akron, Ohio, 106.3 WRFZ-FM in Rochester, NY, Radio Free Raleigh, and by former VH1 President, Tom Calderone in regular rotation on 88.7 WBFO-FM The Bridge.

WAPS Program Director, Brad Savage described the group as, “One of the hottest bands out of the Buffalo / Niagara Falls area.”

On the heels of the EP’s release, the band performed in front of a sold-out crowd at The Montage Music Hall in Rochester, NY.

The band was asked to open for The Tubes as direct support at The Riviera Theatre in North Tonawanda, NY on October 21, 2021.

They continue to be very active in the live setting in their native Western New York including a performance at the 16th annual Rock the Barn Festival in Clarence, NY in 2021, shows on the road at The Evening Muse and Stooges in Charlotte, NC, and a performance in front of a crowd of over 5,000 people as direct support for nationally touring Pink Floyd tribute band, The Machine at Batavia Downs in Batavia, NY in 2022, amongst others.

“The music is a reflection of what’s going on around us,” Tedesco said. “It’s something people can really latch on to.”
