NORSIDE
Performing Time TBA
Saturday, May 23, 2026
Norside has rapidly established themselves as one of the most thrilling new acts on today's instrumental groove scene. Anchored by a deep-pocket rhythm section and fearless improvisation, this organ trio brings a raw, no-frills energy that feels both timeless and unmistakably of the moment. Norside is Glenn Strother (guitar), Skip Sanders (organ and keys), and Steve Ippolito (drums).
Norside’s identity isn’t revivalist, it’s lived-in. Their “Rust Belt Music” carries the weight of factory towns, corner bars, and long winters, channeling the same working-class intensity that shaped cities across America’s industrial heartland. There’s a toughness to their grooves, a refusal to polish away the grit.
In a remarkably short time, Norside has shared the stage with an impressive roster of renowned artists and luminaries including Soulive, The New Mastersounds, The Bar-Kays, The Soul Rebels, Dwayne Dolphin, Chris Cain, Steeltown Horns, and many others. Norside is slated to release their sophomore album, "Coal & Soul", this summer on the Color Red music label.
