ABOUT THE PERFORMER

MoChester

MoChester is a 4-piece rock-reggae driven band from Rochester, NY. The band’s name is actually a fusion of the city it started in and Motown, one of its original influences. While the Motown groove provided early inspiration for the group, their current sound has a mainstream flair that has been compared to a blend of O.A.R. and Incubus, with a west coast swagger reminiscent of The Dirty Heads and Sublime. The members of MoChester consists of Brandon Sheffer on lead vocals and guitar, Jonathan Sheffer on keys, guitar and backup vocals, Ben Overmyer on bass, and Jimmy Grillo on drums. MoChester has released 3 studio albums, and most recently, the summery, laid back, reggae-infused single, “Cool Water”. MoChester is very excited to release more new music in 2022, as well as get back on some big stages this summer.
