Upstate New York-based funk jam band Formula 5 has announced a 31-show summer tour throughout the Northeast and stretching into the Midwest. The extensive tour, which will keep the quartet on the road through September, features multiple festival dates as well as shows alongside acts like Sprocket, Teddy Midnight, Pink Talking Fish, and more. After a pair of shows last week, the band will keep things moving in NY’s Finger Lakes region with a trio of shows in Rochester, Canandaigua, and Johnson City. 

Made up of guitarist/vocalist Joe Davis, drummer Greg Merek, bassist James Woods, and keyboardist/vocalist Matt Richards, Formula 5 has been attracting a rapidly growing fanbase with their mix of original, improvisational music and diverse and interesting covers. The band has been busy in 2016, opening for Twiddle in February, holding a month-long residency at Nectar’s in Burlington, VT, performing at a Bernie Sanders rally in Albany on April 11th, and sharing the stage with talented peers like The Jauntee, Strange Machines, Gubbilidis, Haley Jane and the Primates, Teddy Midnight, and Goose.
