Upbeat on the Roof with Nice Hockey

Join us Thursday, August 13, at 6 pm for an evening featuring donut-fueled indie-pop quartet Nice Hockey, which includes Skidmore Psychology professors Dom Vuvan and Harrison Schmitt.

Nice Hockey is a power pop band from Schenectady, New York. The band was started by Dom (vox, keys, synths, trumpet) and Chad (vox, synths, bass), completed by Harrison (drums, vox) and Eric (guitar, vox), and held together with dried mango and NA beer.

Nice Hockey sounds like The Beths went on a John K. Samson bender and emerged holding a keytar. Their songs are charming and big-hearted. The extraordinary and the mundane collide to tell stories about bike rides with your friends, chameleonic vibes, and how to survive the impossible. They play in living rooms and on porches, at Elks clubs and farmers markets, for toddlers and for you. Nice Hockey hopes you wanna be friends.
