About

Lackadaisical Lemon got their start in 2022, and are now playing shows all around the NJ-PA-NY area, blending their own original songs with some fan-favorite covers, as well as some energetic and heated musical improvisation. Their original songs feature humorous, oddball and at times nonsensical lyricism that has drawn comparisons to Ween, Phish, Frank Zappa or Primus, but also shows a unique musical energy that blends the groove oriented musical dexterity of jam rock with some punk energy. As for their covers, they have a wide variety of songs that they play at their shows. They play some feel-good reggae, some sing-along classic rock, some jam rock tunes, some 90’s rock, and much more. They also include a lot of improvisation in all of their shows, weaving jam sections into many of their songs. Showcasing George Callahan’s jazz-inspired rock solos, Nate Tarkett’s precise and technical grooves, and Pierce Poniatowski’s melodic bass lines, the improvisation is a central part of any Lackadaisical Lemon show, and often leads to many great moments.

Bios:

  • George Callahan

    GUITAR AND VOCALS

    A lover of music since birth, George Callahan throws all of his influences into Lackadaisical Lemon. He sings with soulful, raw vocal style and creates a multitude of sounds on his guitar ranging from gnarly rock leads to effect soaked trance loops to jazz fusion shred and way more. Biggest influences: Phish, Ween, Zappa, Sublime, blink-182, moe., the Dead, Zeppelin, Hendrix, etc.

  • Pierce Poniatowski

    BASS AND VOCALS

    Pierce Poniatowski plays the bass with a uniquely melodic style that lends itself well to filling in the space left in the power-trio format. He uses fingerstyle and pick bass most of the time, but is ready to slap when it’s time to funk it up. He does'n’t sing much, but when the oppurtunity comes, he will be heard! Biggest influences: Van Halen, the Who, the Doors, the Allman Brothers, moe., Bowie, etc.

  • Nate Tarkett

    DRUMS AND VOCALS

    Perhaps the glue of the band, Nate Tarkett provides the group with a bombastic power and keeps the groove going with no end. He’s not only a large contributor of the uptempo, high energy sound exhibited in many of the band’s jams, he switches from hard rock to reggae to funk to jazz with ease. Biggest influences: Zeppelin, Rush, Yes, King Gizzard, Iron Maiden, etc.
