Backstory:
Prudent Ingredient came together in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, in the early 2010s. The band was formed by four friends who shared an apartment and a love for music – Max on vocals and guitar, Sarah on bass, Tom on drums, and Rachel on keyboards. They each brought a different musical influence to the group, from punk rock to jazz, creating a unique and distinct sound that quickly gained them a local following.
Their big break came in 2015 when they played a rooftop concert that was shut down by the police. The footage went viral, bringing them national attention and getting them signed to an indie record label. Since then, Prudent Ingredient has released three studio albums and toured worldwide, never forgetting their humble beginnings and the city that inspired their music.

Title:
“Concrete Dreams”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Wandering through the [Am] city lights, [C] chasing shadows in the [G] night
[G] Trying to find our [Am] place in this [C] world, [G] stories waiting to unfold
[Chorus]
[C] Concrete [G] dreams and [Am] neon skies
[C] We’re not [G] just surviving, [Am] we’re alive
[C] Painting [G] colors in the [Am] grayscale night
[C] This is [G] our city, [Am] this is our fight
(Verse 2)
[G] The sound of the [Am] underground, [C] rhythms of life all [G] around
[G] We’re just kids with [Am] guitars in hand, [C] making noise in this [G] no man’s land
(Chorus)
[C] Concrete [G] dreams and [Am] neon skies
[C] We’re not [G] just surviving, [Am] we’re alive
[C] Painting [G] colors in the [Am] grayscale night
[C] This is [G] our city, [Am] this is our fight
Bridge:
[Am] We’re not [D] born for grey, [G] we’re the light of day
[Am] In the heart of the [D] city, we’ll [G] find our way.
(Chorus)
[C] Concrete [G] dreams and [Am] neon skies
[C] We’re not [G] just surviving, [Am] we’re alive
[C] Painting [G] colors in the [Am] grayscale night
[C] This is [G] our city, [Am] this is our [G] fight
Favorite Fan:
Their favorite fan is a guy named Jake, who’s been there since their first gig in a dingy basement bar. Jake’s testimonial goes, “Prudent Ingredient isn’t just a band, it’s a lifestyle. Their music speaks to me on so many levels. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s about the struggle and the beauty of urban life. I’ve seen them play countless times, and each time feels like the first. They’ve got this incredible energy that just pulls you in. I can’t imagine my life without their music.”
