About Us
Goin' Unsteady was created by Gingerval and Da Changsta as a way to blend their love for both punk rock as well as the classic music from the 1950's and 1960's that have heavily influenced their musical writing style. Later, they formed a team of experienced musicians that represent an impressive variety of musical backgrounds, generations, and influences. Located in the Westchester/lower Hudson Valley, Goin' Unsteady promises an energetic and fun-filled live performance that gets the crowd's feet a tappin' and makes it impossible not to dance and sing along!
