Blanco is a project spawned from an increasing desire to perform across New Hampshire’s Seacoast following the pandemic’s start. Consisting of Ryan Farinas (vocals), Matt Oriente (saxophone), Seamus Connelly (guitar), Kai Dimuzio (bass), and Shane Jozitis (drums), Blanco got its initial kicks at the Freedom Cafe in the fall of 2020. Farina’s background in hip-hop and R&B, combined with the rest of the band’s studies in jazz and rock, results in a sonic smorgasbord offering a little something for everyone who attends a show. The band paints their performances with a bright color palette, effusing exuberance, emotion, and whimsy into the atmosphere each time they take the stage. Their name, chosen shortly before their first performance, is an ode to their first fan and the band’s official mascot: Farina’s white pitbull, Blanco. Sneaky Miles, a Newmarket based indie folk band which just released their 'Sandcastles' single opens the show.
