A brief history of the band
The Suji Faithful was started by Alan Vensicofsky as a project that would bring together musicians from an army of great Connecticut bands to perform at the holidays as a benefit for local food shelters. The group then evolved into an adventurous cover-band project, daring to tackle songs by groups as diverse as Toto, Squeeze, David Bowie, U2, Miles Davis, Vince Guaraldi, and the Grateful Dead... undoubtedly the most eclectic cover band in the state!
