The Scatter Bandits perform at Ryan's Sports Bar in Manchester on July 17, 2026!The Scatter Bandits bring together four seasoned players from deep corners of the jam scene, each carrying years of road-tested experience, wide-ranging musical instincts, and a shared appetite for exploration.
Featuring Mike Sherman of Flipper Dave on bass, John Spignesi of JSB on guitar, Mark Mercier of Max Creek on keys, and Brian “Duke” Konopka on drums, the band is built on chemistry, curiosity, and the kind of musical conversation that can only come from players who have spent years listening hard, stretching songs open, and chasing the moment in real time.
Rather than lean on one sound or scene-specific lane, The Scatter Bandits pull from a broad pool of influences, blending rock, funk, blues, psychedelia, improvisation, and groove-forward jam traditions into something loose, lively, and unmistakably their own. The goal is simple: bring everything they have gathered along the way into one room, let it collide, and see what fresh energy comes out the other side.
At its core, The Scatter Bandits are about freedom, feel, and the thrill of discovery. Four musicians, countless influences, no shortage of stories, and a collective mission to make something that feels familiar enough to move you, but fresh enough to keep you guessing.
Come rock out with the scatter bandits!
