rochester

Hailing from a town deeply rooted in the indie music scene, Omaha’s pop-rock four-piece Rochester does not conform to the Saddle Creek agenda or sound. Creating songs that can lift the heaviest of hearts, this group concentrates on the positive and their hope for the future is as contagious as their lyrics and hooks.
Formed in January 2006, Rochester brings together elements from various genres, experiences, and influences like Blink 182, Relient K, Saves The Day, and Third Eye Blind.
