SISTER HAZEL AND DANNI ROSNER @ NEPTUNE PARK (31ST STREET STAGE)

Sister Hazel is an alternative rock band from Gainesville, Florida, whose style also blends elements of folk rock, pop, classic rock 'n' roll and southern rock. Their music is characterized by highly melodic tunes and generally optimistic lyrics. The band's instrumentation often features abrupt shifts among electric, acoustic and a cappella, with striking use of tacets. Though often described as alternative, Sister Hazel leans toward an upbeat sound and away from the dark emotions and clashing punk discordance often association with the alternative rock genre.

About Danni Rosner:
Only a year into performing her music professionally, Danni Rosner has aggregated an audience that has dually fallen for her charismatic stage performances, and her vibrant organic pop. The independent artist produced 2008s "The Worst Part is Waiting" EP, followed by the release of her 2009 LP "Piano Actress," and is anticipating the production of a new EP this coming spring. With a drive to share her music, 365 days has yielded a wealth of creativity, but also recognition, having been chosen to perform at the historic Apollo Theater (tallying a Top 3 Amateur Night performance), opening for Top-40s Matt Nathanson, international pop-artist LENKA, and scoring a Saturday night gig at NYCs famed The Bitter End, plus more.
