Little Plastic Dinosaurs / SAMSARA

Little Plastic Dinosaurs will perform as part of the Fresh Prospects series—a showcase of the best up-and-coming artists attending Berklee. They are a Boston-based rock band bringing a new sound to the math, rock, and indie scenes. Their members—Emma Harner (lead guitar and vocals), Luke Colombero (“stunt” guitar), Sam Anderson (electric bass), and Bradley Fiske (drum set)—are inspired by an eclectic range of music, most notably folk, funk, pop punk, and math rock. The band formed in October of 2022 at Berklee, and has since played many shows in the Boston area. Their soaring melodies, clever songwriting, and rock-infused choruses have earned them an audience in Boston and beyond. 

SAMSARA draws their influence from several styles including grunge, funk, metal, and alternative. SAMSARA's “alt sound” weaves grunge with today's modern rock. They've received praise from professionals within the music community. In September of 2021, they came in second place at the Tarrytown Music Hall’s Rock The Hall. Their music has received airplay on SiriusXM's Channel 21, as well as different college radio broadcasts and local radio stations. SAMSARA has played some of the most notorious rock venues in the tri-state area, a handful of regional music festivals and street fairs, and has worked with seasoned professionals in the music industry. They have recorded extensively at Shelter Island Studios with Producer Steve Adobbo and with the iconic Gordon Raphael. They are headed back to the studio with Raphael this spring to complete their upcoming album to be released later this year.
