THE SURGE is a high-energy, party rock band playing a wide range of music for every age group. THE SURGE is
based in Rochester, but performs at venues & events, large or small, from Buffalo to Syracuse and beyond.

THE SURGE is one of the hottest bands in the Rochester area, as one can certainly tell by a glimpse of their busy schedule. Even in the midst of a sluggish economy, these guys play every single weekend.

THE SURGE is an extremely versatile group of experienced musicians. Classic rock selections blend seamlessly into funky groove tunes and as authentically into modern rock.

The material performed by THE SURGE runs the gamut of poplar music from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's to today's most modern hits. New material is unveiled at nearly every show!

The band's name pays appropriate tribute to the level of energy generated by their LIVE performance. Audience participation is central to THE SURGE experience. Few bands are capable of matching the infectious tenacity of THE SURGE. Tight instrumentation, three-part harmonies, great material and performance, performance, performance, further separate THE SURGE from the masses of local cover bands. THE SURGE is adrenalin unleashed and simply stated...exciting and fun!

THE SURGE ignites the audience & fans add fuel to The Surge's fire as the band gets hotter & hotter as the show goes on. The high-energy fivesome features....
