Hailing from the lively music scene of Boulder, Colorado, Huck n’ Pray formed in fall

2023 through deep dorm jams and pop-up performances on campus. A shared love for Phish,

Grateful Dead, and King Gizzard united lead guitarist Cory Shishik with rhythm guitarist Fintan

Canning when they met on their first day of college. The two became inseparable and knew that they had to form a band, but were missing a rhythm section. The parking lot of a Phish concert is where the duo met drummer Axel Pearson, and the addition of bassist Will Berbaum completed the group’s lineup a short while later. 

Huck n’ Pray quickly picked up momentum in the Boulder music scene, playing a show at the iconic Fox Theatre as just their fourth gig as a band. They continued to grow a loyal fanbase in the front range area, before being invited to play at the prestigious Electric Honey and Coat Check “Circus” in December of 2024. The 500+ person festival acted as a springboard for Huck n’ Pray as they continued to pack venues like The Roots Music Project, The Fox Theatre, and countless local shows.

Huck n’ Pray has created a new and electrifying sound that they are eager to share with the world. With a new year underway and an Album in the works, the band plans to continue developing their genre-bending attack and captivating audiences with their eccentric live performances.​​ The band has got some really exciting things coming up–especially this summer–that you won’t wanna miss out on.
