Live Music

image0.jpeg

All the Living and the Dead is a five-piece, Philly-based indie pop rock band that blends the energy of rock with multi-layered vocal harmonies. Formed in 2022, the members have played in and around the Philly scene in bands such as The Bigger Lovers, Mason Porter, The Bret Tobias Set, Missing Palmer West, and Space Ate Mafia.

“It’s About The People!” is a collaboration between four musicians with different backgrounds who share a common goal, to create authentic music in the moment. IATP features Paul Wilkinson on guitar and vocals, Luke Ferracone on guitar, Paul Klinefelter on bass and Glenn Ferracone on drums and musical director. The band's sound draws heavily from an impromptu take on American roots and blues music.
