Hart & Co.
Groove125 West 3rd Street, New York 10012
Hart & Co. bring their NYC-based blues rock funk collective to Groove for a full-band set. The group is anchored by guitarists Hart Hooton and Boris Pelekh, with Kelsey Pierce on vocals, Oskar Haggdahl on drums, Martin Doykin on bass, Jonathan Weber on violin, Indofunk Satish on trumpet, and Kyle Schweizer on sax. The evening draws on original songs by Pat King, Hart Hooton, and Boris Pelekh, with the instrumentation pointing to a broad, horn-and-violin-colored ensemble sound rather than a stripped-down guitar show.
The listing identifies Hart & Co. as a New York City-based collective and describes its music as blues rock funk. Beyond the personnel and songwriting credits, the available material offers no further biographical background, documented collaborations, or press commentary. What is clear is the scale of the project: guitars, voice, rhythm section, violin, trumpet, and saxophone give the band several musical voices to work with across its original material.
