Band Bio
Hailing from Concord, New Hampshire, JamAntics is a five-piece
band that combines elements of rock, funk, pop and even bluegrass--
then jams it out. The members bring varied musical backgrounds into
the mix, creating a unique sound. Lead singer Masceo spent years
as a singer/songwriter before moving behind the drums, vacating
the position of rhythm guitarist for Lucas Gallo who occasionally
steps forward to act as lead singer on his own songs. Eric Reingold
holds down the bass line while helping Masceo in the percussion
section with beat-boxing or a hand-drum. Award-winning Celtic fiddler
Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki puts on his funk hat to trade solos and harmonize
melodies with Freeland Hubbard, lefty lead-guitarist of considerable
prowess who, like Lucas, occasionally serves as lead singer on his
own compositions. In their first nine months together, JamAntics
has released a Demo EP, a Summer Sampler EP and a Fall Sampler EP,
in addition to playing more than 70 gigs around New England, from
the NH Statehouse to the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom. Their shows
are comprised of mostly original music from an ever expanding repertoire,
and usually include a creatively reinterpreted cover or two, always
performed with high energy and a healthy sense of fun. Michael Witthaus
of theThe Hippo, the Manchester, NH arts weekly, called JamAntics,
"A lively musical stew that sounds like it took years, not
months, to perfect," also saying, "Jamantics have settled
into a cohesive camaraderie that's breathtaking to behold. They
pass the ball around like a musical version of the Harlem Globetrotters."
The Hippo recently declared JamAntics to be one of the "top
five bands to make a mark in 2009."
Taking over the world, one gig at a time...

fanatic Jamantics fans, but they are by far one of the best that
I have heard in a very long time and can’t wait to hear them
in the mainstream!
Anyone who can be gutsy enough to be able to pull off their own
unique styles and sounds and keep everyone who hears them wanting
more.” – Hollybear74

songwriting and the creativity is just amazing. I can't get enough
of it.” - Randodge
