David Kolker Band and The Rents

David Kolker and his band have been playing a semi-resident gig at the Bitter End in Greenwich Village, NYC. There, they've crafted a winning mixture of straight-ahead rock and blues—a sound that eschews the rigidity of either genre, and consequently bends the unlikeliest ears. Kolker has a markedly individualistic style as a singer, songwriter and as a guitarist. Paul LeFebvre’s haunting pedal steel guitar drives at the depths of tone in this music. Nikolaus Schuhbeck and Brett Bass form the band’s rhythm section and do so with just the right amount of finesse and abandon. Kolker is dynamic and unrestrained onstage, a must see.


The Rents are a band of 4 with decades of experience rockin’ their instruments; “cutting” their chops on late 60’s and 70’s hard rock. Members of the band have performed on the same stage along with major national acts. From their current “originals” to Led Zeppelin covers, “The Rents” deliver blazing guitar licks, booming bass riffs, thunderous drums and driving vocals.
