Doors 6pm, Music 6:30pmLuca Foresta & the Electro Kings
With a style unlike any other, Luca Foresta and the ElectroKings have broken the mold with their energy and emotional intensity to captivate audiences in clubs across Western New York. The group focuses on creating their original songs based on the danceable roots of American music such as blues, swing, and good old rock and roll. Intermingled with their original tunes, the band covers a wide variety of musical styles. They include familiar tunes from the 1950's such as those of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Big Walter Horton, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson and Elmore James, to the current West Coast sounds of William Clarke, James Harman, Charlie Musselwhite, Rod Piazza and Little Charlie and the Nightcats.

Garden Club
Garden Club was born from 3 college students, Dominic Rodriguez, Will Carmen, and Silas Richardson. They are a trio playing a mixture of psychedelic jazz and funk that is completely their own. All three are talented musicians who came together to create Garden Club and make music, their way.
Dominic Rodriguez is a 21-year-old from Hamburg, NY, and has been playing the guitar for 10 years. Garden Club is his first project that he helped create which aims to create original music. He met Will while playing trumpet in the SUNY Geneseo Jazz ensemble, and from there, discovered that they shared a love for the same music. Dom says his guitar playing is most influenced by Mark Speer and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Dom is rumored to be the long-lost grandson of Jimi Hendrix.
Will Carmen is a 20-year-old poly instrumentalist from Williamsville, NY, and has been playing the bass for 8 months. He is a skilled singer and trumpet player and brings those skills to his bass playing. He takes a large part in the songwriting process to help create smooth bass lines and fine-tune harmonies. Will draws influence from 70s and 80s funk and reggae music, Khruangbin’s Laura Lee, and Tom Misch. Contrary to popular belief, he lacks a green thumb.
Silas Richardson is a 20-year-old from Ithaca, NY, and has been fine-tuning his chops for 10 years. His influences draw from odd-time signatures and tight grooves. He met Will during his freshman year of college, having been neighbors in their residence hall. From there, they found a shared love for Khruangbin, and Will decided to introduce Silas to Dom. Doubling as their resident stand-up comedian, Silas is a crucial member of the band, providing a foundation for the Garden Club groove.
Since February of 2024, Garden Club has quickly grown to be recognized around Geneseo. The trio hopes to be able to share their music with even more people as they grow
