Optimo now lives and breathes in Boston, MA + Brooklyn, NY and plays a blend of hard rock with occasional jam leanings. Having played at a number of clubs in the greater Boston area, Optimo are ready to expand into colleges, bars, dives, halls, palladiums, amphitheaters, stadiums, and super-domes across greater New England, New York, and beyond. Any venues looking to fill a bill or bands to share a gig can please contact us at Optimoband@gmail.com.
