Consisting of five students from SUNY Oneonta in Oneonta, NY, Makeshift Parachute is a pop rock group made up of Steve Reilly (vocals/keyboard), Alex Auclair (Guitar/ Vocals), Mitch Rassman (Bass/Vocals), Andrew Wasserman (Rhythm Guitar), and Brian Nentwick (Drums). Music displays influences across genres, from Dave Matthews to Rush and Red Hot Chili Peppers to AC/DC. While it can be generally classified as pop rock the level of orchestration and complexity exceeds that title.
