Norside

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.

Their identity isn't revivalist - it's lived-in. Norside's "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, and that's exactly the point.

Since forming in 2022, the trio has shared the stage with some of the heaviest names in funk, soul, and jazz - including Soulive, The New Mastersounds, Cyril Neville,  The Soul Rebels, The Bar-Kays, Dwayne Dolphin, and more. Their reputation as a must-see live act continues to grow with every performance.

This summer, Norside releases their new LP, Coal & Soul, on Color Red Music - a sophomore record that doubles down on everything that makes them essential: groove, grit, and soul worn straight to the bone.

Norside is Glenn Strother (guitar), Skip Sanders (organ), and Steve Ippolito (drums).
