Aisle 14

Aisle 14 started back in 2021 with brothers Chris and Manny Modrono playing around Gainesville, FL. Since then, the band has grown into a five-piece with Dylan Lore on drums, and Ryan Hall on trumpet—bringing new energy and fresh ideas from his music background.

While the band’s roots are still firmly Americana, their sound has stretched into jazz fusion, reggae, ska, funk, and psych rock—all wrapped up in a jamband approach that makes every show feel different. Their songs often take unexpected turns with complex chords, odd time signatures, and jam sections that keep things interesting.

The name Aisle 14 comes from where they started: playing as the house band next to aisle 14 in a grocery store bar. It’s a fun reminder of their beginnings, but now the music speaks for itself.

They’ve been playing more around Florida, building fans in places like St. Augustine, St. Petersburg, Tallahassee, Miami, and Naples. Their live shows are welcoming and energetic, with familiar songs mixed with improvisation.

Right now, they’re working on a new album due out later this year. One song that really sums up where they’re at is “Slow Down,” a reggae/ska track with a psychedelic Latin disco jam section that shows off their genre-bending style.

Songwriting is a group effort, with everyone bringing their own influences and ideas to the table. The band’s main goal is to make music that’s always evolving and that brings people joy and surprise. They want to take the audience on a journey, letting the music lead the way.

Looking ahead, they’re focused on finishing the album, growing their fanbase across Florida, and getting booked at festivals like Hulaween at the Spirit of the Suwannee.

After an Aisle 14 show, you’ll probably be left wondering what’s coming next—and hopefully, just having a really good time.
