Hailing from Lowell, Massachusetts. The Old Rochelle is an original and eclectic rock-and-roll band formed in 2010. Their sound has been described as everything from "Zydeco-washed Americana" to "Ramshackle Springsteen Roots-Rock", to "Cajun-Pop", Cosmic Country, "Psychedelic Shoegaze", and even "Calvary Rock". Bucky Fereke delivers an honest and unique approach to songwriting. His vocals have been described as "a booming, world-weary baritone filled with wisdom and regret". Their newest album, Pony Steps, has already drawn high praise from critics and fans alike. Their energetic live shows are anticipated by fans as they come in to dance, listen, and sing along.
“A genuine slice of heartland rock that does not skimp on the “heart“. ”
