New Haven, CT jam quartet Eggy has shared a pro-shot video of the debut rendition of new song “One Stop Shop” from the band’s recent performance at Flour City Station in Rochester, NY.
The Rochester performance was among the first live shows for the rising outfit since the onset of the pandemic shut down what was meant to be a breakout year of touring in 2020.

Instead, guitarist/vocalist Jake Brownstein, keyboardist/vocalist Dani Battat, bassist/vocalist Mike Goodman, and drummer/vocalist Alex Bailey hunkered down in their home studio, the Egg Crate, and got to work performing creative livestreams and writing new material.
Over the course of Eggy’s first four shows back on the road, the band unleashed four new originals on its hungry audiences. Much like the other song debuts, “One Stop Shop” arrived in Rochester with a heaping helping of improv in tow, quickly breaking free from its compelling, narrative lyrics and funky, synth-heavy groove to explore unknown terrain.
As Brownstein tells Live For Live Music, “After so much time stuck inside the basement, it was an amazing feeling to unleash these new songs on some fresh ears and breathe new life into our music.”
