For almost two decades, Type Relevant has been captivating audiences leaving them mesmerized and wanting more.

Originally a duo, the group formed in 1999 featuring Brian Herlihy (Relevant) on bass, guitars, and vocals, along with John Hunter (TypeNice) on drums. The two met while playing in Hutch-Tech High school’s jazz ensemble and quickly meshed their sounds to create a fresh style of their own. Type Relevant’s first shows were in 2000 in South Buffalo and Downtown Buffalo. During this time, the band acquired a wealth of local and regional support. As their unique sound blossomed, so did their networking skills and community activity. As a result, Type Relevant is well known for both their musical and promotional abilities.
