“The Get Right Band are the type of performers that you just know will break out. Their songs are infectious and take you immediately to a very happy place. The lyrics are smart and bear weight.”

-The Huffington Post

THE GET RIGHT BAND is “hip-shaking, earth-quaking, pure funk fun” (The Alternate Root). Relix Magazine’s picked them as “On The Verge.” Home Grown Music Network’s named them 2015 “Best New Band of the Year,” and Mountain Xpress readers voted them WNC’s “Best Progressive Band.” The group has performed on the famed World Cafe, a nationally syndicated NPR show, and have brought their unique sound FloydFest, The Orange Peel, Music City roots TV show, Riverbend Fest, and well as other to major festivals and venues. Combining catchy, clever, honest songwriting with musical expertise and fearless improvisation, the live show promises to move your head, heart, and hips.

Guitarist/vocalist Silas Durocher and bassist Jesse Gentry have been playing music together since middle school. Durocher, who is a trained composer and has been commissioned to write for symphonies and chamber groups, possesses impressive guitar chops and provides plenty of charismatic swagger as a frontman and a singer. Connect Savannah describes him as having “impressive range and rich clarity to his vocals—think a more soulful Dan Auerbach.” Gentry’s virtuosic bass playing “catapults from elastic to nasty” (The Mountain Xpress). With the addition of Jian-Claude Mears, a drummer with “precision, passion, and an inescapable momentum” (Live For Live Music), the group’s sound has become an unstoppable force. They have been wowing audiences around the country and the Caribbean since their inception in 2011 with an unparalleled live show and a relentless tour schedule.”The Get Right Band are the type of performers that you just know will break out.
