Stolen Gin is staying at the restaurant long after the bill has been paid. It’s running into friends, chopping it up with fans, and sitting down at the piano because that’s just what you do. The New York City five-piece came up playing rooftops and house parties at NYU — not because they were grinding, but because making people dance is simply what they love.

The band doesn’t pose. They do cool stuff in a normal way. Will Adler on guitar, Sawyer Adler on bass, Evan Jacobson on saxophone, and Josh Farrell on drums are five unique individuals who happen to be genuinely great friends — and it shows every time they hit the stage. Governors Ball, a sold-out European tour, opening for Saint Motel: the milestones are real, but they’re not the point. The point is the show feeling like a party.

Now Stolen Gin steps into a new chapter with Cam Rao fronting the band as lead vocalist. Same guys, new energy — and the same effortless, improvisatory spirit that’s made them one of New York’s most exciting live acts.
