Rigometrics - Rigsgiving 2026

Rigometrics (Portland, Maine) is making serious waves in the Northeast music scene with a dynamic, high-energy sound that blends the soul of classic rock with the grit of funk and blues, the hooks of indie, and the urgency of modern alternative. Their music fuses Josef Berger’s searing guitar work, Derek Haney’s hard-hitting, groove-driven drums, and Keenan Hendricks’ soaring vocals and swaggering piano, which doubles as the bass in their live setup: creating a genre-blurring style that feels both timeless and fresh. The result is a live experience and growing catalog that consistently draws in diverse audiences and fuels an ever-expanding, loyal fan base. Formed in late 2021, the three-piece has toured all over the East Coast and South, sold out 300-cap venues, headlined major shows in Maine, and played over 450 shows. Their catalog now includes 2026’s album The Rigossance Era, 2025’s Live in Maine II and singles Can’t Catch Up, Couldn’t Tell Ya, Hands, Mr. Shove, Hope You Know, and Ghost of Indecision; 2024’s EP Elodie, live album Live in Maine, and singles Endless Road, All My Friends (Live for the Weekend), and No Smoke; 2023’s EP No Time to Waste and single Share the Fortune; and their 2022 debut album Rig N’ Roll. These projects are propelled by their relentless touring schedule and undeniable stage presence ~ backed by years on the road, first in a renovated school bus and now in their dedicated touring van. To bring these releases to life, Rigometrics has collaborated with top-tier producers Jon Wyman, Matt Perry, and Anthony Gatti, as well as Grammy winners Dave Gutter, Adam Ayan, and ‘Bassy’ Bob Brockmann. Together, they’ve crafted music that elevates Rigometrics’ signature sound while keeping it deeply rooted in the spirit of rock ’n’ roll.
