I recently met Josh Netsky and his crew after a show at The Keg during Rochester’s second annual Independent Music Festival. Go see these guys play if you like thoughtful and passionate rock and roll. Tech word of the week: soundscape! These guys are soundscapers (new word for Websters), and Josh’s lyrics inspire the imagination to match the style. Plus, guitarist Sam Snyder has the best nickname I’ve heard for a rocker. They call him Overhand Sam because of the unique style in which he plays his lead, with his chord hand looping in over the top of the guitar rather than coming up from the bottom (a creative adaptation to a past injury). It’s entertaining, and the kind of quirk that gives a band a turbo shot of attitude. Also, I wonder if Sam does everything overhand. It must be interesting to see him play baseball, shoot a gun, or sweep the floor as well.For a dose of Josh Netsky characteristic of the way they play in their live performances, listen to “Lady Luck”.
Where does Josh Netsky fit on The Sound Plane?
