R.E.M. Best Of Concert

What's The Frequency Kenneth: A Live Best-of R.E.M. Night!
Friday, December 11th | Pink Rock Culture Co-op | Downtown Syracuse

Pink Rock Culture Co-op invites you to an immersive night celebrating the music of R.E.M, reimagined by some of Central New York’s most compelling local artists and bands.

This special cover concert brings together a diverse lineup of musicians, each performing their favorite R.E.M. songs - from early classics to later-era soundscapes. Expect familiar tracks, unexpected arrangements, and deeply personal interpretations that honor the band’s emotional depth, songwriting, and lasting influence.

Step back into the jangly, poetic universe of one of alternative rock’s most legendary bands. Whether you wore out your cassette tapes of Murmur and Automatic for the People in the '80s and '90s, or discovered their timeless catalog through modern streaming, this "Best Of" concert event is an unmissable musical gathering. For longtime devotees, this night will be a powerful trip down memory lane. If you've fallen in love with R.E.M.'s genre-defying songwriting later on, this will be your rock-history class for the blueprint of modern indie-rock, combining cryptic lyricism, iconic guitar riffs, and soaring vocal melodies.

More than a tribute, this is a community collaboration - a gathering of artists and music lovers united by a shared reverence for one of the most influential bands of our time. Whether you’re a lifelong Radiohead devotee or simply curious to experience their catalog through fresh local voices, this night promises atmosphere, artistry, and connection.

Come lose yourself in the sound, support local musicians, and experience R.E.M. in a fresh light.

Featuring: Rocketeers, Timothy Day, Amanda Rogers, Andrew Halliday, David Friedman, Matty Experience, Boxxy Rob, Ian Doherty and more!
