Shred, funk, metal, jam. Take these four ingredients and sauté them in a sauce of songwriting and groove, and you might create something that tastes like One Time Weekend. Known for their electrifying live shows, OTW delivers an unforgettable high-energy experience at every performance. They’ve performed at major festivals such as The Peach Music Festival, Northlands, and Memorial Meltdown, and have toured with acts like Twiddle, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and High Fade. Over the last ten years the band has released four studio albums and over one hundred live albums. With millions of streams across platforms and a rapidly growing social media following, One Time Weekend continues to expand their reach through relentless touring, engaging live shows, and a strong connection with their community of fans aka “OTW Nation”.
Formed in 2016, the band has never stopped moving. With the intention of building their community, OTW has created a following across the northeastern United States, and thanks to streaming—a global following of dedicated listeners. They created an annual celebration dubbed “Masquerade Of Madness” in their hometown of Hartford, CT. "The Masquerade is more than a show, it's a community gathering. It is an expose of the arts from visual to auditory inspired by the likes of Scotland's Fringe Festival. It is a chance to lose yourself in something amazing." Combining the talents of local/national touring musicians, visual/performing artists and their own community of fans Masquerade Of Madness is quickly becoming their favorite part of the year. Past musical guests have included members of Twiddle, Trombone Shorty, Brandon "Taz" Niederauer, Funky Dawgz Brass Band & more.
With the addition of percussionist Alex Giosa in 2023 and guitarist Sam McGarrity in 2025, One Time Weekend has only gotten tighter, more dedicated to their craft and hungry to show the people what they can do.
