My Hero Zero
Time TBD
Adler Athletic Complex Arena
Presented by Altoona Benefitting THON
My Hero Zero has honed its captivating blend of showmanship, talent, and pop-savvy to become one of the East Coast's most popular bands. The dual fronting abilities of Jason Olcese and Eric Damiano give the band the ability to cross genres. Acoustic pop meets indie punk. Storyteller intimacy meets sweaty in-your-face basement shows. A powerhouse four-piece meets an audience that can compete with the power of the microphone.
In addition to being seen by more than a thousand Penn Staters on a weekly basis, their busy travel schedule has fans putting their hands up throughout the East Coast. My Hero Zero doesn't just take the stage to play popular songs; they take the stage to remind you why you fell in love with live music in the first place.
