Forged in 2010 and hailing from Lowell, Massachusetts. Old Rochelle is a creative and original and rock-and-roll band. Their sound has been described as everything from "Ramshackle Springsteen Roots-Rock" to "Zydeco-washed Americana", "Cajun-Pop", Cosmic Country, "Psychedelic Shoegaze", and even "Calvary Rock". David Gabriel Coscia (aka Bucky Fereke) delivers bright melodies, moving lyrics, and electrifying guitar solos. His vocals have been described as "a booming, world-weary baritone filled with wisdom and regret". Their latest full-length 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. Old Rochelle released a live album in 2022 called Live at Worthenfest '22.
"A genuine slice of heartland rock that does not skimp on the heart."
