About Hickory:
Hickory is a folk rock band that brings together a diverse range of musical influences to create a unique and engaging sound. Formed by five talented musicians, each member contributes their own flavor to the group's music, resulting in a rich blend of folk melodies and rock rhythms.
Hailing from northern New Jersey, Hickory brings together Rob Friedland (lead vocals, guitars, mandolin), Dave Foschino (vocals, lead guitar, mandolin, banjo), Matt Nalducci (vocals, percussion and drums), Ted Rainey (vocals, bass guitar), and Jason Warren (vocals, keyboards) to create a distinctive Americana sound.
Influenced by artists like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Caamp, and Pearl Jam, their music blends timeless rock with modern folk elements. With Rob and Dave driving the songwriting, the band collaborates on production to ensure every member’s input shapes their sound. Hickory has quickly gained a reputation for their captivating live performances and their ability to connect with audiences through their music. Drawing inspiration from classic folk and rock artists as well as contemporary influences, Hickory’s sound is both nostalgic and fresh, appealing to a wide range of listeners. With their thoughtful lyrics, tight musicianship, and charismatic stage presence, Hickory is making their mark on the folk rock scene.
Hickory’s laid-back vibe is a perfect fit for breweries and festivals, where they continue to expand their audience. As they finish up their debut album, with three singles already out—"As It Were", "Dog Days of Suburbia" and “Huckleberry”—the band is gearing up for an exciting year, eager to connect with even more fans through the release of new music and live performances.
