ALBANY—Canopy, a New Haven, Connecticut jam band, co-headlined a show with Glass Pony at Ophelia’s on Broadway on Friday, Jan. 17.
Canopy is a psychedelic jam-rock band that blends elements of rock, funk, blues, and jazz with deep psychedelia and improvisation, aiming to deliver a raw and unfiltered live music experience.
Glass Pony, a high-energy psychedelic groove band based in Albany, New York, comprises Eddie Hotaling (guitar and vocals), Chanda Dewey (drums and vocals), Jeff Picarazzi (bass and vocals), and Greg Pittz (lead guitar and vocals).
Their music blends elements of 1960s and 1970s psychedelic and jam-focused rock with funk, post-punk, modern indie, and post-rock influences. This unique fusion creates a danceable and engaging sound that appeals to a broad audience.
Glass Pony released their self-titled debut album in 2019, featuring tracks like “Grover’s Mill 1938,” “Swing That Maximus,” and “Stardust.” Their most recent studio album, Washed Away, came out in 2023.
