Nitro Express

Nitro Express Band has become well known as Southern California’s hardest working and finest Country-Rock Band. They have been playing consistently in Southern California and Nevada for over 10 years and have earned a reputation for their quality, versatility, earthy originality, and professional appearance. As a full-time working band, they average 200 high quality performances a year at various Casinos, Private Events, Theme Parks (eg, Sea World, Magic Mountain), Summer Concerts, and are always in high demand.

Though typically billed as a Country band, Nitro Express has influences ranging from Bakersfield to Liverpool, Nashville to London, Texas to Chicago, Detroit to Sweet Home Alabama, and many points in between. Classic Rock, Blues, Bluegrass, R&B, Country, Southern Rock, Surf Music, Motown, and even Reggae are some of the components that make up their unique sound. When they play a Classic Country song it is authentic, and when they play a Classic Rock song it is equally authentic to that style. But, at the same time, Nitro Express always makes sure to put their own stylistic stamp on every song they perform and make it their own. With 4 strong singers, superb harmonies, virtuoso musicianship, and a strong beat, they are one of the most entertaining acts on the West Coast.

Nitro Express would be the perfect addition to your Event to make it special and memorable. Travel is not a problem as they will travel anywhere in North America or beyond. They are versatile and flexible, so feel free to contact them with any questions you may have. However, be sure to call them as early as possible as they are always booked in advance.
