Carlo

We are SO excited to have this group play the hotel!

Whether they’re described as throwbacks to a more innocent time in music—or so hip it hurts—Carlo is simply a great band.  Drawing equally from surf rock, Link Wray, Ennio Morricone and Booker T & The MGs, the all-original Toronto/Ottawa instrumental combo has firmly embedded itself on the scene with a new self-titled album guaranteed to make any situation you’re in a lot cooler.

Carlo is an instrumental surf band comprised of guitarist James Taylor, keyboardist Kelsey McNulty, bassist Scott McCannell, and current drummer Justin Rupple. After releasing a debut EP in 2015, the band members pursued other projects out of the sheer joy they have writing and performing what could be termed a very specially form of rock and roll. Of course, that’s part of the challenge too, adding their distinctive slant to well-established sounds.
