Bio
SkyDaddy is a funky, soulful rock/jam band based in NYC and its tri-state area -- and also performs its material as an acoustic duo when appropriate. With catchy hooks, memorable messaging and a knack for improvisation, SkyDaddy is bridging the gap between mainstream audiences and the northeast festival circuit. The roots of SkyDaddy formed in 2004 at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY, where songwriters Tom Clancey and Dave Heinz met over an impromptu jam session of “Rapper’s Delight.” Tom and Dave worked together on various musical projects over the next decade, eventually evolving into SkyDaddy in 2014 with the addition of Joe North (sax/EWI, School of the Arts, Philadelphia) and Pat Agresta (drums, New School, Brooklyn). The band released its debut self-titled EP on Spotify and iTunes in April 2015. Its first single, Just Enough Wine, has captured attention in the northeast from audiences, who are already singing along at live shows.
