The Naticks

We offer the the full 5 piece band (drums, keys, guitar, bass, vocals) as well as an acoustic duo (vocals, guitar, ukulele), or some combination of the 2 (i.e. 3 piece with keys, guitar, vocals). We have a network of musicians we have worked with to further expand our sound (saxophone, violins, second guitarist, etc.)

We work with our clients and bookers to best fit the experience they're looking for. Our sets can range from background music during cocktail hour to heading lining a high energy festival with thousands of patrons. We've played corporate events, weddings (ceremony music, cocktail hour, reception, emcee services, etc.), backyard parties, outdoor festivals, mid and large range music venues, bars, restaurants, family friendly events, and more. We can work in a small/intimate space or venue as well as rock a large party and everything in between. We have access to sound engineers to help us mix our live sound and ensure levels are set to provide guests/hosts the best musical experience possible.

Our set list has been described as eclectic and dynamic. We are always trying to add to it to ensure no 2 shows are the same, and to keep the crowd engaged even if they've seen us before. Genres typically cover classic rock, hard rock, pop, 90's, alternative, and some country/folk as well as our original music if requested. For private events we often offer to learn or add new material that the booker wants to hear!

The Naticks are an indie rock band based out of Rhode Island. Three of the founding members (Chris, Drew, and Ross) began jamming together in high school, and decided to make the push as a more focused musical endeavor in 2015. Since then, there have been several iterations of the band to the 5 full time members that are present now: Nick Powers (Percussion), Chris Capuano (Keys, Vocals), Drew Croll (Bass), Telli Quinn (Vocals, Ukulele) and Ross MacAndrew (Guitar, Vocals).

Since 2015, the band has increased and improved their quantity and quality of shows, which have ranged from private parties, corporate events, weddings, cocktail hour, festivals, headlining major music venues, opening for touring acts, live streams, bars, breweries/vineyards, hosting local shows and festivals, and beyond. In 2018, the band recorded and produced their debut album "Place Of Searching" available on all major music platforms. Since then, several singles as well as covers have been recorded in between a busy show schedule. They are currently working on the follow up album, set for release in summer 2024.

Most of the band's shows have been located throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts, most frequently in Newport, Providence, Boston, and Matunuck. For live perfomances, the band typically plays as either an acoustic duo, the full 5 piece band, or some combination in between. Shows have spanned from an opening 30 minute set to 4 full hours, mixing in a range of original and cover material depending on the location, venue, crowd, and event. Covers range from classic rock, pop, 90's, alternative, country/folk, and more. Typically when playing a private event, the band takes requests to perform for the booking party.

The band has won RI Monthly's Reader Poll for Best Local Indie Band 4x, and continues to expand their footprint in both the online music space as well as geographical reach. Often described as a high energy experience, The Naticks shows offer a uniquely entertaining experience!
