Great Caesar with Caleb Pogyor & the Talkers

Tickets are $10 in advance $15 at the door. Doors open at 6 pm Show starts at 7 pm.

Great Caesar aims for the heart with a unique blend of brass and male and female vocals, drawing from acts like Arcade Fire and Beirut to create music that confronts the things that really matter: love, legacy, and the complexity of human relationships.

The NYC band’s 2014 debut single phenomenon, "Don’t Ask Me Why", combines art and activism in a video that juxtaposes the civil rights movement of the 1960s with today’s fight for sexual equality. Funded by a $50,000 Kickstarter campaign and supported by figures as varied as Russell Simmons, Deepak Chopra, and Superbowl champion and LGBT advocate Brendon Ayanbadejo, the video has reached over 260,000 views on YouTube with 2,000+ likes and hundreds of comments. 

The band self-released their eponymous EP on October 7, 2014; it was produced by Griffin Rodriguez (Beirut, Modest Mouse, A Hawk and a Hacksaw). Great Caesar completed a self-booked national tour in September 2014, selling over 100 tickets in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, and New York City, and playing at Chris Douridas' School Night,  Google, the Marion Correctional Institution in Ohio, and dozens of other shows.

Great Caesar is comprised of John-Michael Parker (vocals, guitar), Adam Glaser (bass), Tom Sikes (trumpet), Mike Farrell (guitar), Thomas Stephens (drums), and Stephen Chen (saxophone, also of San Fermin).
