The Capitals were originally formed in Medina, NY in the late 1990's. After handfuls of demo albums, different monikers, and a slow churn of new and old members over the next few decades, they now are six musicians from across western New York with a steadily increasing following and several albums to their credit. Their sound is rooted in pop rock, but it pulls influences from blues, soul, chamber pop, Americana, and other genres. Several songwriters in the ensemble contribute new songs and trade lead vocals, resulting in a diverse and multifaceted appeal.
