Reservoir Hill is an original Americana rock band co-founded by friends Dylan Flaherty and Brad Kramer in Allentown, PA. The band currently comprises Brad Kramer (Lead vocals), Tommy Pogash (Bass), Dylan Flaherty (Lead Guitar) and Charles Kicska (Drums).

Formed in the Winter of 2018 the band draws on their many influences to bring forth a diverse sounding collection of songs that show many sides to their personality. Influenced by bands like; Zac Brown Band, Chris Stapleton, U2, The Allman Brothers, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, The Black Keys, and more. They aim to produce lyrically driven, diverse and catchy originals with a wide variety of covers performed in their unique style.

After partnering with Lehigh Valley producer Brian J. Anthony, the band released their self-titled debut EP "Reservoir Hill" in March of 2019. Their single "Boneyard" was later nominated for "Best Single" for the Lehigh Valley Music Awards. They have played all over the Lehigh Valley adding new originals and drawing large crowds at venues like "ArtsQuest". In August of 2021 the band released their first full album “Desperate Times” on all streaming platforms. Now the band looks to grow their audience online and in the North East.
