After working as a large group for the first year of college the band had been whittled down to its core of Mike Sisto on Guitar, Griffin Brady on percussion, and Andrew Moore on bass.
However, the next year the band had to be put on hold due to the absence of guitar player Mike Sisto who went to pursue music at Purchase college. During that year Griffin and Andrew played acoustic shows as a duo and wrote some of the sly favorites you hear today. That year also saw a New York state tour in the spring time with Sisto and collaborator and good, friend Ben Butera. After convincing Sisto to move back to Fredonia, the band has been living together constantly working on new material.
Over the Summer of '06 On the Sly started touring with a new member and good friend, nationally touring jazz artist Joe Glarner. You can hear some of this collaboration on the "Joe Glarner with On the Sly-- live @ Nectars"-- recorded in Burlington, Vermont. (Soon to be re-released)
In 2006 On the Sly had their first ever music festival, On the Sly's 3 sweet days. The homegrown festy was a hit featuring 15 bands, 3 nights of camping, and round the clock food and booze. This was only the start however, as the second annual 3 sweet days was even bigger and better with over 20 bands, 2 stages, and 1000 people.
On the Sly will be taking band submissions for the 3rd Annual Slyfest as of April 1st. You can send your e-presskit to [email protected] or snail mail a presskit to:

Currently, the original sly trio is working on a full length studio album. "Pslycology" is due to debut in late summer/ early fall of '08.
