nitro-express
Nitro Express is hands down the finest Country Rock band in Southern California. They have been playing consistently in Southern California and Nevada for almost 10 years and have gained a huge reputation for their incredible sound, versatility, and being the hardest working band in the area. They average about 200 performances a year at various Casinos, Corporate Events (Qualcomm, Kaiser Permanente), Private Parties, Theme Parks (Sea World, Magic Mountain), and Summer Concerts, and have performed at venues with Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Clint Black, Ronnie Milsap, Bill Ray Cyrus, Wynonna Judd, Dwight Yoakam, The Derailers, Vince Gill, and many others. 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.
