The Byzantines: Rock Band in New York

About The Byzantines

The Byzantines are a rock/pop group heard in New York City at Bowery Palace, where they appear in the bill “Franklin Jonas & The Byzantines.” The set frames Franklin Jonas’s work in a pop-rock continuum that traces back to the Jonas family’s mainstream lineage, but the band’s sound leans toward a tighter club format. Their performances favor direct songcraft over spectacle, built around concise arrangements and a live, band-forward mix. With a small Spotify following, they register as a developing act in the city’s venue circuit.
