The Heavy Pets have their sight’s set on the North East in April, giving fans not one but five funky opportunities to boogie deep into the night whilst taking in the sounds of their unique blend of jazz-funk and rock-and-roll deliciousness.<\/p>\n

In an interview by NYS Music’s Johnny Goff, with guitarist Jeff Lloyd and Syracuse University grad, Jeff explained why the Heavy Pets enjoy touring through the Upstate area while on tour,<\/p>\n

“NY has always been our home and our home away from home at the same time. When we are here, we get to see our families and when we are on the road, it\u2019s always nice to be able to look forward to our east coast swings where we know we\u2019ll be able to see our families and friends.”<\/em><\/p>\n
