THE BANDS

Night One Bands

Featured
Amperband
Amperband

Featuring legal talent from McCarter & English
Rocking for Community FoodBank of NJ

Amperband is comprised of legal & musical legends from McCarter & English. Why are we called Amperband? It's our tribute to the mighty '&' symbol, the unsung hero that connects words & phrases, like we connect our Amperfans to chart topping hits from the greatest eras of music.
Amperband was formed in 2023 debuting at Johnny Cash Bar & BBQ in Nashville. Besides Tennessee, Amperband has graced stages in NYC, DC & Florida with our distinctive three guitar sound. Now we’ve taken a page out of Lebron James’ playbook & will be taking our talents to South Beach to play both Miami and NYC Law Rocks this year!

Amperband boasts as much expertise in riffs & rhythms as we do in regulations & rulings. The band includes seven members from five McCarter offices & a whole lot of legal wit & even more musical talent. So, if you are Amperfan material (& we know you are!), welcome to the Amperfamily!

The Dirty Scriveners
The Dirty Scriveners

Featuring legal talent from Cozen O'Connor
Rocking for Access Justice Brooklyn

The Dirty Scriveners is significantly less than the sum of its parts. The band is comprised of Cozen O'Connor lawyers from multiple disciplines - litigation, intellectual property, real estate, labor & employment, and a badass Cozen O'Connor Public Strategies professional. They have worked on the biggest deals, advised clients on their patent portfolios, worked to make change at City Hall, and have even argued and won cases at the United States Supreme Court! Of course, they still have trouble with those B7 add 13 (no5) chords, but who doesn't? Their musical tastes are so vastly different that they argue and brawl and play hot feet pranks on each other, and they almost didn't make it out of their first rehearsal alive. But they ultimately, reluctantly, and imperfectly meshed, and even if the world is not a significantly better place for it (and it most certainly is not), the Dirty Scriveners will attempt to bring the joy and may just surprise you (and the world).

REDACTED
REDACTED

Featuring legal talent from Cowan, DeBaets, Abrahams & Sheppard
Rocking for New York Stem Cell Foundation

REDACTED makes its triumphant return to Law Rocks NYC with its signature nostalgic flair! CDAS once again brings the rock heat, but from what decade? Originally focused on 90s alt and grunge, over the years the band expanded further into decades past, adding neon trim to their flannel shirts and Doc Martens. Which direction this year? Maybe it's time to break out the mascara. Warning: some songs may cause emotional reactions. We're looking forward to once again rocking for our favorite charity, the New York Stem Cell Foundation. See you on stage!

Willy and the Halestormers
Willy and the Halestormers

Featuring legal talent from WilmerHale; Steptoe; Cleary Gottlieb
Rocking for Sanctuary for Families

Willy C. Picker cut his teeth playing country and blues in small clubs along the banks of the Potomac. He had a loyal following, but was never able to break into the big time until he joined up with a brash band of Boston rockers—the Halestormers. Together, Willy & the Halestormers are back once again to deliver an energetic and eclectic mix of rock and pop hits. They are excited to return to the Law Rocks stage, and equally excited to raise money for the Sanctuary for Families—New York’s leading service provider and advocate for survivors of domestic violence, sex trafficking and related forms of gender violence.

Force Majeure

Featuring legal talent from Arps; Meagher & Flom; Skadden; Slate
Rocking for The Church Street School for Music and Art

Force Majeure is an irresistible force of classic rock crashing onto the Law Rocks NYC stage for the first time – and no contractual provision can excuse you from attending. Comprised of attorneys from Skadden's ranks, this band delivers a setlist spanning the best of late '70s new wave, '80s power pop, and iconic '60s rock – from The Cars to Pat Benatar to the Rolling Stones. With blistering riffs, vocals, and enough stage energy to blow past any limitation of liability, Force Majeure is here to prove that when Skadden lawyers take the stage, performance is anything but excused. Consider this your notice: attendance is mandatory, dancing is unavoidable, and a great time is beyond anyone's reasonable control.

Judge - Chris Bergson

Chris Bergson is an internationally acclaimed guitarist, singer and songwriter. “Chris Bergson plays the kind of guitar you can build a house on – it’s B.B. meets Steve Cropper meets John Scofield.” (ROLL Magazine) No Depression writes: “Upon first hearing guitar man Chris Bergson and his gravely southern drawl, which is a combination of Levon Helm and Gregg Allman, you can hardly believe this guy is from New York City… An artist dedicated to bringing blues and classic R&B into the future while honoring the past.” Hailed as "the New York street poet with a blues soul" (MOJO) and "a kind of Edward Hopper of the blues," (Blues MagazIne UK) Bergson is best known as the leader of the Chris Bergson Band who Elmore Magazine calls “one of the most talented bands playing today...From blazing rock to funk to soul to Delta blues and all that's in between.” Bergson was inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame as a Master Blues Artist in 2015 and is an Associate Professor of Guitar at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Bergson is also an accomplished sideman who's performed with luminaries across a wide range of genres including Norah Jones, Levon Helm of The Band and Howlin' Wolf guitarist Hubert Sumlin. The Chris Bergson Band's latest album Comforts of Home with special guest Bernard Purdie received Four Stars in MOJO and was named one of Soul Bag magazine's Best Albums of 2024. Bergson's 2026 solo release East River Blues features the singer/guitarist backed by the all-star rhythm section of bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Herlin Riley. Blues Matters (UK) calls it "a record steeped in after-hours soul, jazz-club cool and the kind of hard-earned musical maturity you cannot fake. Bergson’s guitar work is masterfully understated throughout, as it is soulful, economical and deeply melodic." Bergson tours regularly internationally and performs in NYC at such venues as The Pocket, The Bitter End and Smalls Jazz Club. Bergson endorses D'Addario Strings, McCurdy Guitars and MONO cases.
