  • Bio

    Combining influences from electronica, funk and jazz, this quintet from New Jersey has been taking on the Northeast jamband scene since 2009. Newton Crosby has shared the stage with moe., Umphrey's McGee, Conspirator, Jen Hartswick, Wyllys and The New York Hustler Ensemble and The Heavy Pets. Newton Crosby makes it a point to keep the music at high energy and the crowd dancing throughout the show. With Alonzo Sisco on drums and new addition Billy Vegas on bass, together they gel in unison creating perfect conditions for improvisation. Stephen "Squigs" Minutillo and Chris Cartelli, guitars, keys and vocals, elevate the band's sound by trading off of each other's leads and directing the set's musical exploration. Eric 'Eroc' Mitchell rounds out the line-up, bringing his great piano stylings and unique brand of synth sounds to the music. Climactic peaking jams backed by breakbeats and thumping basslines, Newton Crosby is sure to get the crowd and dance party going.

Bio:

.... Newton Crosby may be a newcomer to the scene but they are quickly leaving an impression on those who have seen them play. Combining influences from electronica, funk and jazz, this quartet from New Jersey has been taking on the Northeast jamband scene from day one and continues to increase their energy with each show. In just their first year of existence Newton Crosby shared the stage with moe., Lynch, The Breakfast, Splintered Sunlight and The Heavy Pets and in 2010 they plan on adding to their resume. Pooled together from various bands in the NY / NJ area, Newton Crosby is assembled with four musicians who pride themselves on giving everything they have with every show and make it a point to keep the music at a high energy and the people dancing throughout the entire show. The rhythm section of Alonzo Sisco on drums and Paul “Hoagie” Apicella on bass gel together in perfect unison creating the perfect gateway for improvisation. Steven “Squigs” Minutillo and Chris Cartelli both combine triple duty of guitars, keys and vocals, playing off of each others lead and provide the groundwork for the bands musical exploration. With climactic peaking jams backed by breakbeats and thumping basslines, the band is sure to get the crowd and dance party going
