ECHO 23 joined Rockabilly Greg In the Flamingo Lounge on October 16, 2025.

ECHO 23 is an attitude-fueled alternative rock band channeling the best of the ’90s and ’00s. They officially formed post-COVID in 2021 and began tearing up their home base, The 33 Speakeasy, in May 2022.

The band’s centerpiece is the fierce, young lead singer Cassandra Warren, who uses her incredible voice and attitude to captivate every crowd. On the rhythm section, you’ll find lifelong friends Charlie Forness on bass and Steve Wellenc on drums (who also manages the band). With the addition of CJ Ambrosia on guitar, the lineup for ECHO 23 is complete.

What sets E23 apart is their unique setlist. With Cassandra’s incredible vocal range, they crush songs by Paramore, Alanis Morissette, and Lady Gaga. They then instantly flip the script, bringing you bangers from Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco—plus a side of Poison—making them one of the most eclectic and must-see bands in WNY!
