Pegasis at White Lilac

Some bands play within genres. PEGASIS dissolves them.

Formed in Green Bay in 2018, PEGASIS has built a reputation for creating music that lives somewhere between jazz, funk, R&B, pop, Latin, and global rhythms—what they call “discord in synergy,” a fearless blending of seemingly opposite musical elements into one electrifying sound. The result is music that feels both adventurous and deeply accessible, with shimmering harmonies, tight arrangements, and musicianship that makes even the most complex passages feel effortless.

At the heart of the band are the powerful voices of Dominican sisters Rissel and Yaina Peguero Almonte, whose bilingual lyrics in English and Spanish explore personal experience, identity, and the world around them. Their vocal blend is both intimate and expansive—sometimes delicate, sometimes explosive—anchoring a sound that moves fluidly across styles and cultures.

They’re joined by an exceptional rhythm section: Matt Hillman’s expressive guitar work, Tony Pesavento’s melodic bass lines, and Jeremy Seelig’s dynamic drumming. Together they form a band that is as tight and virtuosic as it is playful and spontaneous.

PEGASIS has been recognized within the regional music scene, earning Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) award nominations and praise for pushing boundaries while keeping audiences engaged with groove, harmony, and musical chemistry.

Live, PEGASIS is something special. Their performances move seamlessly from lush vocal passages to deep rhythmic pockets and improvisational interplay. Jazz heads, funk lovers, world-music explorers, and pop fans all find something to grab onto. Every show becomes a journey—one moment meditative and atmospheric, the next bursting with rhythm and energy.

But what truly sets PEGASIS apart is the spirit behind the music. Their songs invite audiences to pause, breathe, and listen with open hearts and minds, weaving together storytelling, cultural roots, and modern musical exploration.

For listeners who crave music that is vibrant, thoughtful, and impossible to categorize, PEGASIS offers an experience that feels fresh every time they take the stage.

Expect groove. Expect harmony. Expect surprises.
