Snacktime goes from Rittenhouse to Boston Calling

From their early days performing free shows in Philly’s Rittenhouse Square, the seven-piece band Snacktime has come a long way, and on May 25, they’ll take the stage at Boston Calling to bring a truly amazing sound to the city.

Band founder and sousaphone/bass player Sam Gellerstein joins us to talk about their formation in the summer of 2020 and making their mark on Philadelphia’s music scene. Sam shares what folks can expect at their Boston Calling show, and some of their recent (and upcoming) highlights as a band. 

Sam talks about the band’s new single “Sunshine” and the story behind it, as well as how they grew into their current musical style. We talk origin stories, what folks can expect in the future, and the impact the band has made over the last five years.

Closing out the show is the new single, “Sunshine,” an upbeat tune with a great message.
