Smooch is an eclectic indie-funk/soul jam band hailing from Westchester, NY. Formed over a decade ago after crossing paths at a local open mic, the band grew organically out of a shared love of groove-driven music, improvisation, and collaboration. Rooted in friendship and musical curiosity, Smooch embraces a sound that reflects the distinct influences and strengths of each member. Their live shows are dynamic and engaging, giving every musician space to shine while staying locked into a collective groove that keeps audiences moving. Blending a wide-ranging catalog of crowd-pleasing covers—each reimagined with Smooch’s own funky, soulful twist—with original material written collaboratively, the band thrives on spontaneity and feel. Whether stretching out a jam, reworking a familiar tune, or debuting new originals, Smooch delivers a high-energy, feel-good experience that’s as fun for the band as it is for the crowd.
