A motley collection of reformed band geeks, we're all about lyrically driven progressive folk rock, toast, and fitting on to tiny stages. There will be horns.

Cake Street is made up of Anna (Band Manager), and college a cappella friends Emma, Chloe and Danielle (vocals, guitar, and percussion). We mostly cover popular folk music with lots of cool vocal harmonies.
Cake Street was formed when Emma's forever-roommate Abbey accidentally combined the expressions 'easy street' and 'piece of cake', and everyone was like, damn, we should form a band and call it THAT.

Austin Mackey, John Grealish, and Josh Snyder make up this trio which fuses bluegrass, folk, and jazz into a two guitar, double bass, and vocal cocktail. Don't be fooled by the name, we go hard but not as hard as a punk band. Stop by to hear some creative twists on classic tunes.
