The Joe Olnick Band is an instrumental rock group based out of Harrisburg PA. They infuse elements of jazz, funk into their groove based sound. On their latest single release "Downtown", we find that even without vocals, their music speaks volumes. Influenced early on by ambient rock bands like Pink Floyd and Phish, Joe Olnick has mastered his instrument as a indie/groove guitarist.
The Joe Olnick Band consists of guitar, bass, and drums. Combined they create dynamic rock grooves, and memorable lead melodies that smolder and shift seamlessly from an "in the pocket" groove, to letting the sound soar out into the atmosphere. His past albums have gained a great deal of radio traction, including the iconic Philadelphia station WXPN, along with local independent and college radio stations in the region. Mastered by Grammy Award winning producer Reuben Cohen (Foo Fighters, Ryan Adams) in Burbank, CA, you can expect high quality tracks from their upcoming album release, set for October 20, 2017.
"Downtown" begins with a warm, smooth bass tone, over top a tight funk chill-out beat. In the background there is an organ-like atmospheric sound, which is actually effected guitar. As the song develops the band finds their ebb & flow, as lead guitar makes a smooth entrance. Going into the high register on the guitar, it soars and pulls at the emotions before dropping back into the rhythm section. The track ends with a punchy combined rhythmic shift, and goes out with a bang. Overall, a great sounding, solid release from Joe Olnick band, and we are looking forward to hearing the rest of the album.
