Norside has rapidly established themselves as one of the most thrilling new acts on today’s instrumental groove scene. Anchored by a deep-pocket rhythm section and fearless improvisation, this organ trio brings a raw, no-frills energy that feels both timeless and unmistakably of the moment. The trio features Glenn Strother on guitar, Steve Ippolito on drums, and Skip Sanders on organ.

Formed in mid-2022, Norside has been winning over crowds with their electrifying blend of gritty soul-jazz grooves and raw Rust Belt swagger—a sound they’ve aptly coined “Rust Belt Funk.” Rooted in classic organ trio traditions but unafraid to push boundaries, Norside’s music is equal parts deep groove, spontaneous exploration, and street-level soul, built for packed clubs and late-night festival sets alike.

In a remarkably short time, Norside has shared the stage with an impressive roster of renowned artists and luminaries including Soulive, The New Mastersounds, The Bar-Kays, The Soul Rebels, Chris Cain, Steeltown Horns, Dayne Dolphin, and many others. With a reputation for explosive live performances and a sound that hits hard while staying deeply musical, Norside is fast becoming a must-see band on the rise—bringing Rust Belt Funk to audiences wherever the groove runs deep
