The Flowerhead Folks is a Rochester-based cover band playing hit music spanning the past 50+ years. If you attend a show, you will feel the urge to get up out of your seat and dance or, at the very least, sing along. Come to a Live Karaoke show for the opportunity to join the band as the lead singer for a song of your choice! 

What sets The Flowerhead Folks apart from the rest? Four out of five band members are college-trained, multi-instrumentalist, professional musicians who also happen to be music teachers. 

Formed in 2016, The Flowerhead Folks have played at a variety of venues throughout the Rochester Area, including Sager-Stoneyard Pub, Johnny's, Heroes Brewing Company, DisBatch Brewing Company, Murph's Irondequoit Pub, Lock 32 Brewing Company, Seven Story Brewing Company, Rochester Beer Park, Peacemaker Brewing Company, ROAR (Pride 2021), Radio Social, Photo City Music Hall, Three Heads Brewing, K2 Brothers Brewing, Lakesiders, Preservation Beer Company, Hot Shots Volleyball, Knucklehead Craft Brewing, Abilene Bar & Lounge, Birdhouse Brewing Co., Long Acre Farms, Pelican's Nest, and Fairport Canal Days.  

Musical Influences: Ben Folds, Ben Harper, Damien Rice, The Avett Brothers, The Black Crowes, The Black Keys, The Civil Wars, The Head and the Heart, The Wood Brothers, and Watchhouse. 

As a classically trained tuba player, Dominic dreamed of being a frontman for a cover band. Citing challenges with singing and playing the tuba simultaneously and wanting to end the awkward "one time at band camp" shtick, he ditched the Oom-Pah-Pahs for the guitar. As the band continued to evolve, he returned to his roots to hold down the low end on the bass guitar. He has since returned to playing guitar and, through much peer pressure, has even started playing solos. 

Dominic is a founding member of The Flowerhead Folks. As a prior music teacher and current school district arts administrator, he takes great pride in leading by example and being an active musician within the local community. His favorite performances are the ones that support local charities, especially the Rochester Education Foundation's Arts for All Fund. 

During the day, Anastasia works as an elementary school music teacher. Her superpowers include keeping new groups of students engaged musically, intellectually, and behaviorally in thirty-minute increments throughout the day. Interestingly enough, when you see her at a Flowerhead Folks show, she uses those same superpowers on the audience. As the true hype-woman for the band, Anastasia is always working the crowd to participate whenever possible, including leading any children who attend to play the tambourine and shakers on songs such as Blister In The Sun and I Love Rock 'n' Roll. She can also be found selling band merch and assuming any roles that require responsibility and financial management. 

Anastasia loves being in a band with her best friends and growing as a musician with every performance. As a saxophonist (not a pianist), she proves that you do not need to be the best at something to do it anyway... A lesson she shares with her students daily. 

If you ever see someone who looks like Anastasia living her best life in the crowd at shows, feel free to say hi to her identical twin Maya, The Flowerhead Folks' Number One Fan!

Born and raised on Long Island, Scott started developing his musical skills as early as 4th grade on trumpet, piano, and guitar. While pursuing a degree in Music Education at Hartwick College, Scott picked up drumming in a jazz combo and performing at receptions and fundraisers throughout the Catskill region. He joined an unofficial campus rock band with some of his peers, covering all of the classic rock hits.  After earning a Master of Music degree from Five Towns College in Jazz/Commercial Music Composing and Arranging, Scott moved to Rochester, NY, to start his teaching career in the Rochester City School District, where he teaches Music Technology and Modern Band. 

Scott is a founding member of The Flowerhead Folks. He firmly believes that his performance habits and routines uniquely impact his teaching strategies and continues to develop and expand these practices to influence the next generation of musicians. While running sound and lights from the back, Scott can be seen rocking a Ludwig Breakbeats by Questlove kit, for its compact design and punchy attack, ideal for any sized venue. 

Sometimes it gets lonely being the only guitarist in the band. Thankfully, Sean likes to rack up those frequent flyer miles to travel to Rochester and form one of the best electric guitar duos in town. 

After graduating from college with a degree in Jazz Performance, Sean moved from Chicago to Nashville. He began touring with established country music artists, including Big & Rich and the Muzik Mafia. He has received awards for film composition and a U.S. Department of Education Presidential Scholars Program Distinguished Teacher Award. While he has the accolades to live up to the term "ringer," Sean is happy trading solos and adding a little Southern twang to your favorite Flowerhead Folks covers.
