The Afternoon Edition

A bit folk, a bit country, The Afternoon Edition have taken the best of both genres to create their own distinctive and personal sound. With their endearing lyrics and solid harmonies, the band appeals to a variety of listeners, including fans of classic acts such as The Band, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, The Byrds, and more.

Brothers Connor and Shane Noetzel played in multiple bands throughout high school and college together. While in college, Connor met Brian Gallio, and the two quickly became friends over their love of music. As the three musicians graduated, they decided to move in together, with a set goal in mind: to start a new band. With Connor as lead vocalist and main songwriter, Shane on lead guitar, and Brian on banjo, acoustic guitar, and piano, The Afternoon Edition took shape and began writing together.

"No One Will Know", the debut EP from The Afternoon Edition, was released on May 7th, 2013. They have since played at iconic venues in the New York area, including The Bitter End, The Living Room, Pianos, and Rockwood Music Hall. They also recently performed at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, the original site of the Woodstock Festival, as a part of a local music event.

The Afternoon Edition are currently recording a full-length album, scheduled to be released in the Summer of 2015. The group aims to emphasize their unique ability to blend styles, focusing on digging into the history and styling of roots-rock, as well as the importance of folk and its influence on today's music.
