About

Our Sound

Calabash is a four-piece band from Rochester, NY. Weaving between sentiments of funk, rock, and beyond, the quartet achieves a unique sound that, at once, feels classic and fresh. With a proclivity for improvisation, the group takes its audience on an adventure into the unknown, making each performance a unique and memorable experience.

"Calabash is one of the most exciting new bands in the Rochester music scene. They write strong compositions which is a refreshing quality for a group in their space, and deliver interesting and compelling improvisations. They play with a level of chemistry and excitement well beyond their years. A group to keep an eye on for sure."

- Charlie Lindner
(The Pickle Mafia, Manhattan Project)

"They come together to provide a cool, jam band vibe, but there is far more than meets the eye with this one, fitting some funk undertones and a rock feel with some serious guitar riffs, to a solid jazz influence with some improvisation... Calabash has some real talent and should be watched, as they controlled the build-up of the crowd, brought things lower and then back up again."
