Welcome to The Encore Club - Where your dream concert becomes a reality!
In this episode of The Encore Club Podcast, we’re joined by Sam Gellerstein, multi-instrumentalist and driving force behind SNACKTIME—the Philly-based brass collective turning heads with their explosive fusion of funk, soul, and hip-hop.
Sam takes us through SNACKTIME’s grassroots rise, from spontaneous park gigs during the pandemic to national TV spots and sold-out shows. He shares the band’s deep connection to food, community, and DIY spirit, and opens up about how influences like Prince, D’Angelo, and Bon Iver helped shape their fearless sound.
We talk late-night rituals, sousaphone workouts, and how being the house band for Jason Kelce’s show became a game-changer. There’s laughter, sandwich philosophy, IKEA meatball debates, and a few unexpected twists as Sam builds his dream concert lineup—one that’s as bold and joyful as the band itself.
With humour, honesty, and serious groove, SNACKTIME’s Sam shows why they’re one of the most exciting live acts in music right now.
