Congress The Band is one of the Southeast’s most exciting emerging rock acts bring a new wave of rock music out of the Carolinas. Based in Charleston, South Carolina, the band has built a fast-growing reputation for turning every stage - whether a packed club, a college town, or a full festival field into an all-out rager. With vocals from William Bennett, guitar work from Daniel Guy and Lukas Mishustin, locked-in grooves from Rob Farmer on bass, and explosive drums from Jett Seawell, Congress delivers a dynamic performance that feels both modern and timeless. Their music pulls from indie rock, Americana, and classic Southern roots, creating an anthemic sound that resonates across generations.

In just a short time, Congress has grown from a local Charleston favorite into a regional touring force selling out venues from Charlotte to Washington D.C. to NYC to Boston. The concerts have become known for heartfelt crowd connections, big-chorus sing-alongs, and a level of passion that leaves audiences lined up hours before each show.
