Last seen on the main stage at Steinbeck Park in 2022 with legendary guitarist G.E. Smith, Nate, Tim, Greg, Dom and Erik form this uniquely American rock band known as The Resilient.
Formed in the summer of 2018 in a small town in Pennsylvania and made up primarily of severely wounded U.S. combat veterans, the music reflects their name with sincere lyricism, lulling melodies, hypnotizing beats and harmonies which are explorative yet unforgiving.
With many of its members literally given a second chance at life, The Resilient now have a clear and compelling mission — to present and share their message of perseverance, fearlessness and heart through songwriting and a passion for honest musicianship.
Over the course of their musical careers, members of The Resilient have teamed up with many musical greats including Roger Waters, Yo-Yo Ma, Sheryl Crow, Aaron Neville, Ricky Scaggs, Oleta Adams, Kansas City Symphony Orchestra, Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine and have appeared on television shows including “NCIS,” “The Colbert Report” and “Lucky Dog.” Currently they are in preproduction for their first full length album and are the subjects of a feature length documentary currently in the works with award-winning filmmakers North Productions.
The Resilient’s combination of military discipline and artistic freedom powerfully amplifies their radical message of hope. True to their name, they symbolize the universal human ability to overcome the unthinkable. Now they’re here to play music like there’s no tomorrow.
The Resilient will perform on Saturday, September 28, at 8 p.m. at Bay Street Theater for the Sag Harbor American Music Festival.
