The Main Squeeze is a funk-rock band from Indianapolis that has been around since 2012. They are noted for their lyrical melodies, explosive horn passages, and guitar riffs that change all the time. The band's original members, Cody Williams, Ben "Smiley" Silverstein, and Stephen Cunsolo, played in local clubs before going on to play all across the country. They spent their early years learning how to play tight compositions and improvise, which they got from jazz, R&B, and vintage funk acts like Tower of Power.
The band's big break came in 2016 with the album Just Leave, which gained them radio coverage and tour dates all over the country. Later albums like Gravity and Inside Scoop helped solidify their reputation for live presentations consisting of horn-led jams and crowd engagement. The Main Squeeze has appeared at huge festivals like Bonnaroo, Summer Camp, and Electric Forest, where tens of thousands of people came to see them. They also have a lot of fans in the U.S.
Long jams, improvisation, and well-known songs like "Cough Syrup" and "Fireball" are all part of live presentations. The stage moves around, giving the audience a combination of funk, rock, and soul.
