Bio

Rellick creates cinematic rock experiences that vividly capture the human condition through diverse rock influences. Their live performances are reminiscent of the storytelling of Father John Misty, the improvisational fun of the Grateful Dead, the musical arrangement of Steely Dan, and the modern jam style of Goose.

In just their first two years, Rellick built a sprawling performance history of over 100 shows, ranging from intimate indie venue concerts to a 4-hour performance in Downtown Cleveland’s Public Square, which drew more than 300 attendees. Their debut album, “it’s Just One of Those Things” has amassed over 100,000 streams, demonstrating their growing reach and resonance with listeners.

The band’s core consists of songwriter and frontman Mike Rellick (vocals, guitar), Teddy Peterson (lead guitar), Evan Palermo (drums), Brian Riha-Fink (bass), Shivani Shah (violin & vocals) and Jake Koopman (saxophone & keys). Working with producers Billy Carrick & Mike Pfaff, they’ve cultivated a distinctive sound positioned to make a lasting impact on Cleveland’s musical landscape.
