LoConti is a six-piece band from Cleveland, Ohio. Formed by a group of longtime friends, the band built its foundation playing local bars, house parties, and independent venues throughout the Midwest.

In 2023, LoConti independently released their debut album, Cherry Red, recorded in a Cleveland home studio. The release earned the band “Best New Artist” at the Cleveland Music Awards that same year, followed by “Best Band” in 2024 from Cleveland Scene. Since then, they’ve continued expanding their audience through regional touring, festival appearances, and headline shows across Ohio and neighboring states.

While recording their third album, drummer Michael LoConti passed away unexpectedly in February 2025. The loss brought the band to a standstill and deeply impacted the community surrounding it.

After time away, the group chose to continue forward together. LoConti now features Billy Carrick on drums alongside Henry LoConti (guitar/vocals), Eric Sconyers (saxophone/synth), Erin Donovan (vocals/percussion), Trevor Carmichael (guitar), and Leo Traum (bass).

The band is currently finishing work on their third full-length album while continuing to perform throughout the region.
