SunSquabi w/s/g Motifv
2025-04-22 20:00 - 23:59 | Middle Ages Beer Hall, Syracuse, NY, United States
Music has the power to move us—literally, figuratively, and spiritually. It motivates us to rise above the challenges of our daily lives and, on a larger scale, face the world’s struggles. Through an unspoken sonic communion between three distinct musical identities, SunSquabi—Kevin Donohue [guitar, keys, production], Josh Fairman [bass, synth], and Scotty Zwang [drums]—ignite action and inspiration with their signature live electronica sound. With millions of streams and electrifying performances at iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre, they’re pushing boundaries with each release. Following their acclaimed Cloudburst EP, they’re ready to inspire listeners again with their latest project, the Grind EP, showcasing a new era for the band.
“After the past few years of hardships, we wanted to create music that reflects perseverance and evolution,” explains Kevin. “These new releases capture how we’ve grown during challenging times. Grind is about doing whatever it takes to move forward.”
Since 2015, SunSquabi has brought their unique blend of live electronic funk to audiences around the world. Releases like Odyssey [2016], Deluxe EP [2017], and Instinct [2019] have solidified their reputation as a must-see live act, with praise from outlets like 303 Magazine, JamBase, and Live For Live Music. WestWord noted their “electrifying moments,” while ThisSongIsSick praised, “SunSquabi never fails to bring the funk.” Along the way, they’ve sold out venues coast-to-coast and performed three unforgettable Red Rocks shows, capturing one in their release, SunSquabi (Live at Red Rocks). Collaborations with artists like The String Cheese Incident, Late Night Radio, Lettuce, and GRiZ have only expanded their creative horizons.
During the Pandemic, SunSquabi focused on writing and recording, turning jam sessions into fully-realized songs. “A lot of tracks started as improvised jams during live streams,” recalls Kevin. “We used that time to craft our ideas and make them come alive in the studio.”
Josh adds, “We stayed true to who we are and to each other. We didn’t chase trends; we made music that felt genuine to us. The Grind EP is a testament to that authenticity.”
SunSquabi’s latest work reflects their journey and resilience. The Cloudburst EP and the upcoming Grind EP continue to embody the band’s commitment to creating an uplifting, groovy, and soulful experience. In the end, SunSquabi’s mission remains the same: to elevate spirits and encourage listeners to rise above any obstacles in their path.

2025-04-24 18:00 - 21:00 | Pink Rock Culture Co-op, East Jefferson Street 201, Syracuse, New York, 13202, United States
Sub Rosa Sessions is the long running intimate monthly concert series hosted by singer-songwriter, Amanda Rogers, since it’s inception in 2013. Now held at her Concert Listening room and creative gathering space – Pink Rock Culture Co-op, This series always pairs fresh and seasoned sounds from around the globe and right in our own backyard.
This month features some incredible voices-
Chris Riffle has shared the stage with Patti Smith, Death Cab for Cutie, Blood Orange, Joan As Police Woman; embarked on a national tour supporting Heather Nova; and toured Germany & Belgium. Chris is currently finishing up a new full-length album he recorded with his longtime friend and producer Jimi Zhivago… His other four studio releases have been in rotation at over 150 radio stations & featured on Sirius XM.
“One of the more sophisticated singer-songwriters on the Lower East Side” – THE NEW YORKER
Beautiful Losers are Reagan Guthrie and Jack Parrish. The two young artists are living in Syracuse NY and have been developing a reflective sound that has the power to transfix whoever is listening. Blending sparse arrangements with tight-knit harmonies, their songs attempt to cut through to the truth of the heart. Their name can be attributed to the genius of Leonard Cohen, whose oeuvre is a driving inspiration for the band. Beautiful Losers are for fans of Joni Mitchell, Adrienne Lenker, and Yo La Tengo.
