Nearly York, an Alternative/Pop band from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, recorded and released their debut album before playing any live shows. Their music is guitar and piano driven, with catchy pop melodies that are hard not to sing along to! The band name "Nearly York" was selected by band leader Lucas Gienow by opening a magazine, closing his eyes, and pointing at two random words one night at a band practice.
