Weekly Feature: River City Extension, live at Maxwell’s on 02.20 + The Studio on 02.22

River City Extension formed in New Jersey coffee shops around lead singer Joe Michelini. They are a band that appeals as much to the studio-quality audiophile as to the live music party animal with a tight live show, complete with a horn section. Having this much musical variety is a rarity in pop music today and sets the band apart with its instrumental prowess. The band has a vast array of different instruments but does not play them just to be different they all fit in well with the ensemble and are almost all played with a level of virtuosity. – Read Alex Borsody Interview with the band here.
