Roy G Biv is a Buffalo based Post-Jam Funk band that focuses on combining influences and genres into something greater than their individual parts.  Roy G Biv comes heavily equipped on the rhythm section with long time duo Evan Waterstrat (Bass) and Tyler “Smidge” Midgley (Drums) providing an unpredictable air tight foundation; while Sean Thurman (Guitar) and John Cimino (keyboards) paint high mountains and deep caverns over those canvases. All four members split vocals and harmonize, allowing Roy G Biv to seamlessly bend the genres to their will. With bits of improvisation sprinkled atop dance grooves, fat funk, hip-hop verses, soul vocals, and even hardcore breakdowns - the quartet has not been known to shy away from much.  Roy G Biv has opened for Steven Page of the Barenaked Ladies, Andy Frasco & the U.N., Spafford, Magic Beans, Boston, Big Something, Monophonics, The Trews and A Flock Of Seagulls, Mt. Joy, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats.  Co-winner of Band Together Buffalo (2021) and Winner of  Battle of the Borderland Band Contest (2025)
