Wyllys & the New York Hustlers are the live ambassadors of Nu Disco and Re Edit. There is no band around to compare them to. Each set is its own living animal. Each night they play like it's their last gig ever. Lead by Wyllys on the decks and Jennifer Hartswick and Natalie Cressman from Trey Anastasio Band on horns and vocals, there is no stopping the groove once it starts. With a rotating cast of professional musicians around the country, The Hustlers sound changes night in and night out but always stays rooted in the Nu Disco groove. Last year the Hustlers hit New York City, Chicago, Atlanta, and major festivals such as Summer Camp and North Coast Music Festival with massive results. 2012 is looking like the Year of the Hustle, so bring this ensemble to your town. They'll help you party down.
