“Their live and studio performances exude a strong confidence in their musical abilities. They hit every note like the music comes out of them, rather than having to think about what they are going to do next.

Bio
With roots in Jazz, Rock, Surf, Punk, and Hardcore music, This eclectic Rock & Roll band officially formed and began performing their original music as "G-13" Circa 1998. G-13 is a band that combines many elements of modern music with a refreshing, original style all their own. Having been playing seven years now, G-13 claims the Eastern Seaboard as their acquired “stomping grounds.” Their upbeat, songs are being performed relentlessly to fulfilled audiences. Now playing their unique style of improvisational, rock music to venues in the south such as The State Theater of Falls Church, Virginia and The Music Farm of Columbia, South Carolina and in the north at The Knitting Factory, and BB Kings Blues Club of NYC; they are certainly tapping into larger audiences.
In addition to theaters, G-13 continues to play the festival circuit. 2004 marked their second appearance at North Carolina’s Smilefest, however this time they performed on the Main Stage. Also G-13 has played numerous Gatherings at Sunshine Daydream in Terra Alta, WV. They were pleased to play all three days at Delaware’s world renowned “Punkin’ Chunkin” in the Fall of 2004.
