Meet our performers:

Off The Wall

Born in the snowy landscape of Buffalo, NY - a land of broken card tables and chicken wings - Off the Wall! is a five-piece power pop punk and emo cover band spanning the 90's and 00's with a dash of Dad-rock, grunge and indie rock. We formed this band after years of playing in our own respective original bands with the mission of playing all the hits you know and love. Our goal is to always enjoy what we do and for you to always enjoy what we do too! We know that cover bands get a bad rep so we want to bring you something different. Bands and songs not covered by every other cover or tribute band out there including bands like: My Chemical Romance, Blink 182, Yellowcard, New Found Glory, Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, Weezer, All-American Rejects, Sugarcult, Bowling for Soup, Goldfinger, Panic! at the Disco, and many more.

DoDriver

All DoDriver music showcases the bands head-bobbing rhythms, strong vocal lines and memorable songs. Check out the newest album “Bound By The Sound” featuring 11 songs that continue the tradition of DoDriver's craftsmanship and commitment to timeless, energetic and subtlety difficult riffs! On Friday, August 13th 2010 DoDriver had the honor and privilege to open for rock icons KISS!! Through a contest sponsored by Guitar Center, DoDriver was chosen from the top five finishers in a two month long vote-based contest. KISS chose DoDriver as the winning band after listening to the music of all five finalists. The Show was at Darien Lake Performing Arts Center in Darien, NY
