Bio
Self-described as "pop music for unpopular people", RockGati started as a solo project by lead singer Greg Sheffield back in 2017. He self-released several albums before releasing the lush, indie-pop classic Candy Cigarettes in July 2020, which features some of RockGati's best songs, including the ear-infecting bop Pennies. He then met Chelsea Vaughn, a local bassist and songwriter, and they together wrote and released their most acclaimed album yet, Every Aardvark Drinks Green Beer Everyday in February 2021. This album took a much harder edge, introducing more hardcore punk influences, such as buzzing guitars, heavy breakdowns, and screaming vocals, while still retaining the pop hook charm of their previous release.
In the summer of 2021, they met a local drummer named Minh Vu, and the three started playing shows regularly around New England. Greg, Chelsea, and Minh released the double A-side single Rebound/High (My Experience With A Hardcore Drug) in April right before playing the famous Webster Theater in Hartford, CT, kicking off their Summer of '22 tour. In July of 2022, they released Writing William's Letter, which hit 1,000 streams in only one month! People who have seen RockGati on tour have praised their tight, high-energy stage performance as well as their exciting crowd participation.
