Sidewalk Driver is a Boston-based rock/power pop/glam band

The music of Sidewalk Driver is high energy, highly-infectious, hook-driven, Rock with a capital ‘R.’ The sound is modern but the heart of the band seems to be more in line with 1970s rock culture… the Bowies and the Belushis of the world. Lead singer Tad McKitterick’s voice has power and clarity, is expressive without falling off the pitch and is forceful without losing subtle moments. Guitarists Kate Murdoch and Jared Egan seamlessly weave crunchy rhythms with soaring solos while bassist Jonn Smith and drummer A.J. Locke hold down the bottom end. The songs always come with some odd bent but not one that repels; rather, they welcome you to join in the celebration like a carnival barker hyping a freak show.

Sidewalk Driver has provided direct support for an eclectic blend of national acts—including Bon Jovi, The B-52s, Spacehog, Twenty One Pilots, Andrew W.K., and Electric Six—winning over a wide variety of audiences with each performance by injecting humor and fun into their high-octane rock show.
