Quickness

Quickness fans will tell you, there’s always a great collection of alternative rock, 90’s hip-hop and funk at a Quickness show. The band has been rocking crowds for over 10 years and in those years have cut their teeth on their energizing live shows. The band moves seamlessly from deep funk grooves with 4 part harmonies and blissful chewy guitar textures; to up tempo dance floor tracks with fat keyboard pads and soulful vocals; with the audience shouting the rock choruses and bouncing up and down to the next punk rock song.

 

Quickness and their lead singer, composer Jacob Dryden are the recipients of multiple international radio awards and top ten list nominations and their latest single Daydream premiered on alternative rock radio in January of 2022.Quickness has dance-rock mayhem planned for 2024 and beyond, so bring your dancing shoes and party attitude. It’s gonna be a great ride!
