The pavement for Cliff Street was first laid in the party atmosphere of Oneonta State University in the year 2000 when four musicians decided to get together in a basement apartment to jam. Much to the neighbors delight this led Cliff Street to play in their college bars. After three years of local success, the purchase of a small white school bus, and a move north, Cliff Street established a following in the greater Albany/Saratoga area.
"All About Time" is one of the newest songs by the upstate New York jam band Cliff Street. For this five piece band, nothing could be more true. For the past nine years Cliff Street has been a dedicated original band playing fun local hot spots all over the east coast.
Cliff Street's music is self-described as Homegrown Funkafryed Jam. Their unique sound ranges from the Rock, to Reggae from Funk to Trance and features the guitar playing of Jesse Radosti and Kevin Fives. Rounding out the ensemble has featured many Musicians, but most recently has seen Rich Krasco on Bass, Stephen Pucci on drums, and Jason Panucci on keys. What has never changed over the past nine years, is that Cliff Street has been infusing a variety of different musical backgrounds including jam, funk, rock, reggae and strong vocals into a great night for dancing. To the band, Cliff Street not only represents the name of the street in which they first jammed together but also an endless musical road that allows the musicians to experiment with progressive new grooves sounds and rhythms.
This road has led Cliff Street to playing in some of the east coasts top venues such as New York City's knitting factory,and Lions Den, Washington D.C.'s The Vault, Albany's Revolution Hall, Cape Cods Hyport Brewery, and Nectar's in Burlington Vermont. Cliff Street have also played at Bellstock, Phish's Coventry and The New York State Harvest Festival. The band has also played at the Sterling stage Folk festival and since then have played at, Baconfest (NY), and the Wallow in Clay Hollow festival (NH), and have been perennial favorites at Pennsylvania's Stonehenge Festival. With an eye on the future, Cliff Street is excited about their upcoming schedule. Look to see them at venue near you. As the bands' journey continues down Cliff Street, they hope to bring their fans along for the ride as they continue on their musical trip.
