SUMMARY:The Get Right Band | Sails Original Music Series
DESCRIPTION:The City of Hickory’s 2026 Sails Original Music Series kicks off with The Get Right Band at 7 p.m. on Friday\, May 1\, at Union Square in downtown Hickory.\n\nTHE GET RIGHT BANDwww.thegetrightband.comwww.facebook.com/thegetrightbandTwitter and Instagram: @thegetrightband\n\n–ABOUT THE ARTIST–The Get Right Band is a psychedelic indie rock power trio committed to relentlessly following their muses to honest self-expression\, to whatever excites them and pushes them into unexplored territory\, and to capturing some version of truth. American Songwriter writes that the Asheville\, NC based group “filters 60s/70s psychedelia and 90s alternative rock through a modern lens – as if Led Zeppelin\, Pink Floyd\, and Nirvana co-wrote an album produced by Danger Mouse and Dan Auerbach.”\nThe Get Right Band formed in 2011\, built around the musical brotherhood that guitarist/singer/songwriter Silas Durocher and bassist Jesse Gentry have formed playing music together since middle school. Durocher\, who is a trained composer and has been commissioned to write for symphonies and chamber groups\, has guitar chops that can soothe or rage\, with a charismatic swagger as frontman and singer. Gentry’s virtuosic bass playing “catapults from elastic to nasty” (The Mountain Xpress). Completing the team is drummer extraordinaire Jaze Uries\, who is also a singer\, songwriter\, producer\, photographer\, and DJ\, and keys legend Chuck Lichtenberger\, whose incredible playing has been a staple of the Asheville music scene for years. GRB has defined their sound through constant evolution\, building to the hook-driven\, synth-heavy pop/rock/psych band they are today. The Huffington Post writes\, “their songs are infectious and take you immediately to a place. The lyrics are smart and bear weight.”\n\n–ABOUT THE SAILS ORIGINAL MUSIC SERIES–Started in 2012\, the City of Hickory’s Sails Original Music Series showcases well-crafted\, live music by bringing original music artists to The Sails on the Square. Original music is defined as music that is written or composed by the artist who performs it.For more information about the Sails Original Music Series\, please visit www.HickoryNC.gov/SailsMusic and follow the Sails Original Music Series Facebook page\, www.facebook.com/SailsMusic.\n\n–SPONSORS–The Sails Original Music Series presents excellent musical entertainment from national and international touring acts with the support of numerous sponsors. Thanks to presenting sponsor Protection Products\, Inc.\, and supporting sponsors Bob Sinclair Music\, Larry’s Music & Sound\, Pfahlert Creative Labs\, Olde Hickory Brewery\, and Crowne Plaza for supporting the series.\n\n–ABOUT THE VENUE–The Sails on the Square are located in the heart of downtown Hickory on Union Square.
