| 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....
