Looking for great music, great food and and a great time? Come see The Instigators at Cross Keys this Friday (9/19) from 6-9 pm!! See everyone there!

Welcome to our FB Page! We are an eclectic rock & roll band with zero respect for musical borders. One night we’re cranking out Zeppelin, Bowie, Nirvana, and the Dead, the next we’re sliding into Bonnie Raitt, The Cure, The Cranberries, Blind Faith, or Alanis—and yeah, we’ll stir it all into one set without blinking.

We keep you guessing, singing loud, and maybe a little off balance (in the best way). Stu rips lead guitar, Joel pulls double duty on keys and rhythm, Larry drives the beat, Richard locks in the low end, and Paul & Jodi toss vocals back and forth—sweet one minute, snarling the next.

The Instigators are:
• Joel Alperstein – guitar & keys
• Paul Burt – vocals
• Stu Cohen – lead guitar
• Larry Conn – drums
• Richard Meltzer – bass
• Jodi Swartz – vocals

We don’t just cover songs, we instigate fun!
