Hardig Rhode, the creation of Albert Castelli Jr, has consistently been one of Rhode Island's best jam bands since taking the local music scene by storm in the summer of 2008. Whether they're playing one of their own songs or a cover by one their many inspirations like Phish, moe., or The Grateful Dead, you can expect to hear silky smooth transitions and over the top improvisation from the moment the show starts straight through to the end.
The music brings listeners on fantastic spellbinding adventures without ever having them take a step off the dance floor! Hardig Rhode combines infectious dance grooves, face-melting ambiance, and ever soaring song climaxes with thick gooey funk in a way that's sure to get your head bobbing, your hips shaking, and plaster a grin on your face from ear to ear! The laid-back, fan-friendly scene before, during, and after a Hardig Rhode show is always filled with anxious fans eager to unwind, enjoy the company of friends, and get down to high-energy tension and release jams. When talking about Hardig Rhode it's impossible to leave out their absolutely amazing light show. It's simply unlike anything else in Rhode Island. Lighting technician Shawn Feeney mans the control board where he blends a wide assortment of lasers, LED effect lights, gobos, smoke machines, and high powered strobes seamlessly with the music creating an effect that is as blissful on the eyes as the music is on the ears. The combination creates the perfect atmosphere to enjoy a night of laughs, smiles, and kind heads. Isn't it time you got on The Rhode?
