Between their tight grooves, radiant harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and jaw-dropping solos , there’s no simple, easy way to summarize New York City five-piece Juice. Pulling from pop and rock, hip-hop and R&B, ‘90s alternative, modern electronic, folk, and more, their complexity is their strength: All six members are multi-instrumentalists from different musical backgrounds and upbringings, each one bringing his own unique flavor to the band. The result is a “multi-dimensional rock” identity that has continuously evolved over the past decade, as the band members themselves – Ben Stevens (vocals, keys), Christian Rose (vocals, violin), Kamau Burton (vocals, guitar), Daniel Moss (guitar), and Rami El-Abidin (bass) – went from students at Boston College to professional touring musicians and seasoned recording artists.

Juice’s sound may be ever-evolving, but their bold energy is evergreen: The goal, both on stage and on record, is not just to connect on a human level, but to breathe life into every room. While they pack a punch on record, Juice shine their brightest onstage, bringing their music to life for all to see, hear, and feel. The band have played countless national tours over the past ten years, including four headline tours and support slots opening for bands like flipturn, Ocean Alley, and The Dip. About Hush Club Somerville, MA’s Hush Club, comprised of Alasdair MacKenzie and Liz Kantor, makes lush, melodic, and propulsive indie rock that examines the nuances of our shared human experience. WBUR describes Hush Club’s music as “groovy, swaying tunes with catchy guitar riffs and melodies about falling in and out of love.” Their latest single, “Violet Cure,” explores the liberation and sensual thrill of new love over an irresistible beat. Hush Club has sold out headlining shows at the Sinclair in Cambridge, MA and Brighton Music Hall in Boston, MA and toured the northeastern US. The band has been featured twice in The Boston Globe and been nominated twice for the Boston Music Awards (Album/EP of the Year and Folk Artist of the Year).

Hush Club has opened for national and international touring acts including Neon Trees, Melt, Michael Seyer, Hermitage Green, Juice, French Cassettes, Wabie, and Will Leet (of Sammy Rae & the Friends), and the band’s music has been praised by WBUR, Under the Radar, Glide Magazine, Vanyaland, and Boston Hassle.
