Unruly As Nature
Solarpunk reggae band out of New Haven CT, Solgyres embarked on their musical odyssey when siblings Scott (bass guitar & vocals) and Skyelyn Bernier (keys & vocals) began writing and recording music together in 2020. Fueled by a lifetime of immersion in roots reggae, jazz, and a myriad of other influences, they crafted a sound driven by pulsating bass lines and lush harmonies. The siblings later relocated to Storrs CT, where they expanded their musical arsenal with Zach Neuneker (drums), Jake Russell (rhythm guitar & vocals), Lucia Magnuson (vocals), and Logan Tichnor (lead guitar). Solgyres sparked the live music scene at UConn and continued to make a strong impact on the underground circuit throughout CT and MA, shaking the local scene with their dynamic live performances and innovative songwriting. Featuring a triumphant horn section comprised of third-sibling Spencer ‘Bez’ Bernier (trumpet), Ryan Adams (tenor sax), and Frank DeCrescenzo (trombone), Solgyres released their 14-song, self-produced studio album in 2024. The album features a vocal appearance by G. Love of G. Love & Special Sauce on their track “Immortal”. In 2025, the band added its 10th member, Micah McLeary (percussion). Solgyres is ready to ignite a musical revolution.
