The Snozzberries
Psychedelic Prog-Fusion Rock from Asheville NC
The Snozzberries are an undeniable force of raw musical power, laser-focused on pushing boundaries. Described by Rolling Stone as a "jubilant rock act," their huge sound is a sonic voyage of hi-voltage psychedelia, progressive rock, and deep fried funk. The Snozzberries self-titled album from Fall 2024 was praised by Prog Magazine as "pushing the envelope in energy, chaos and breadth."
On a hot streak of creativity, two new singles - Durt Nap and Just After 2 - were released in early 2025, the first tracks from their upcoming live-studio record. A rising star in the worlds of psych, jam and prog, The Snozzberries tour nationally have performed at renowned events like Hulaween, Summer Camp Music Festival, Sweetwater 420 Festival, Warren Haynes Xmas Jam By Day, Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival and more.
"The jubilant rock act is an explosion of vibrant tones and textures" -Rolling Stone

Steve Kelly
“..The final result is more Americana soul than New Orleans funk, steeped in the Memphis gospel vocals, R&B horns and gurgling B3 organ of Al Green, Hi Records and Willie Mitchell, but his adopted hometown’s spirit can’t be denied..”
Co-produced by Kelly with Robert Mercurio of long-running New Orleans band Galactic (now owner of the famed Tipitina’s venue), Here’s the Thing offers an introduction to a musician who put in the work and waited until the time was right to launch his solo career after establishing his reputation for more than a decade with local group Gravy.
Kelly’s connections forged during two decades in New Orleans resulted in a dizzying array of talented musicians who participated in the project, including bassist Kevin Scott [Govt Mule, Jimmy Herring Band], drummer/multi-instrumentalist Isaac Eady [the Tedeschi-Trucks Band], drummer Stanton Moore and bassist/producer Robert Mercurio [both of Galactic], singer/vocal producer Gabrielle Cavassa [Joshua Redman], lead guitarist Joe Pizzolato [Kelly Price, Hans Williams], saxophonist/clarinetist Nick Ellman [Naughty Professor, Maroon 5], composer/multi-instrumentalist Kelly Pratt [Arcade Fire, St. Vincent, David Byrne, Father John Misty] and so many more..
Finding a new lease on life following a near-fatal accident several years ago, Kelly has returned to touring, honing the new material for live performances.
