Snowsera.

On Saturday, Oct. 3, Snowsera headlined Rockin’ for Rooftops, a Habitat for Humanity benefit concert at The Canopy Club. Although Snowsera formed at the University of Illinois, this was their first show in CU since April 26. The set was heavy on new material; in fact, “24” was the only old song performed, and the track was rearranged with impressive, more restrained vocals by Bill Arteaga. “Push & Pull,” a ringing pop ballad, immediately followed.

After a Habitat for Humanity raffle, the music resumed with the shimmery “Sun Meets the Sea” (dedicated to Steve) and “Marksman,” a brand-new full-on rocker with hand claps and heavy distortion. The set ended with “Come to Me,” which combined “Theme from Shaft” sound effects with their best guitar work of the night.

Snowsera recently recorded opener “Chase the Rabbit” and “Stop, Listen” at Great Western Record Recorders with Matt Talbott of HUM.

After the show, these tracks became available for free through their Web site.
