We had an amazing day with Side Hustle at our event. They provided the perfect atmosphere and backdrop for our audience. The band were very approachable and easy to work with. I’ll definitely be booking them again.

Response from Side Hustle:
Thank you sir. We certainly enjoyed the "gig". Glad folks had a great time!

We were lucky to see Side Hustle at the Saw Mill Tavern and it was some of the best live music we’ve heard recently. It’s rare you see this caliber of musicianship at one of our local haunts, and we hope they’ll be playing more often in the Tri-State Area.
Party Band

Side Hustle was slamming! Even two days later, I was singing "Too Hip To Be Square" to myself - hadn't heard that song in ages, and the band sounded fantastic on it. I was a special guest in the audience, thanks to Side Hustle for inviting our mutual musical group of friends @TheShoalSurvivors to be the opening act. Really enjoyed the evening at Saw Mill Tavern - super sound man, Henry! Side Hustle is a tight band with a great personality and a really fun repertoire of dance music.

This band killed!!
We had only planned for a decent sized crowd with our usual walk-in patrons and a comparable response from Side Hustle’s publicity, but they brought a HUGE crowd!! Odd, because they’re a Westchester band and we’re in NYC.
Not only did Side Hustle bring the party, but everyone stayed until closing, drinking and dancing! We even had to open the overspill room just to accommodate more guests!!
The next time we book Side Hustle, we will have to hire another bartender!
Don’t miss this treat!!

Thanks Dean, we had an amazing time. Great vibe and great food.

I recently had the pleasure of watching Side Hustle perform, and I have to say, they absolutely blew me away! This energetic and versatile band delivered an unforgettable show, showcasing their incredible musicianship and stage presence from start to finish.
From the first note, it was clear that Side Hustle is made up of some truly talented musicians. Each member brought something unique to the table, creating a sound that was both dynamic and rich in depth.
What really stood out was the versatility of the band—shifting seamlessly between different genres.
They kept the audience engaged with every song, and their interaction with the audience felt genuine and fun, further adding to the electric atmosphere of the show.
The lead vocals were nothing short of amazing, capturing both power and emotion in every song.
The range of songs in Side Hustle's setlist was truly impressive - and their extensive repertoire kept the crowd on fire from start to finish.
Side Hustle truly proved that they are a force to be reckoned with. Whether you're a fan of upbeat grooves or powerful ballads, this band has something for everyone. I highly recommend checking them out if you ever get the chance—they certainly know how to put on an incredible show.
R&B Group

Imagine all the different generations of people who come to an outdoor event in a suburban area; from 2 year old kids to folks in their 70's and older. The music from Side Hustle was great for all those attending. Babies were soothed and giggling while teenagers were singing, dancing and running around and older attendees were whistling along with the music to some of their favorite tunes. The music was eclectic and covered almost every genre one could imagine. A very enjoyable band for every generation. Definitely a group I would bring back for future events.
Cover Band

We were rocking along to some of our old favorites. Great soloing by the players, as well.
R&B Group

This band features two very competent lead singers..one male and one female…they provide a firm foundation for a song list that all ages can relate to. The horns provide the icing on the cake with a solid rhythm section that also features a guitar player that doubles on violin.

They’re an impressive multi instrumental group clearly comfortable playing together, and including both male and female vocalists. They covered the gamut from Janis Joplin to soul to Elton John.
Funk Band

We were lucky enough to be invited to Side Hustle‘s premier at Pekarna, but unprepared to walk into such a great holiday event! The entire place was SRO, yet people were still trying to dance! Quite a scene! The band was great, the singers were fantastic, and the music was all the best kind for dancing to! Infectious! I can’t wait to see them again at their next event!
