I grew up in the listening to the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Rare Earth, Sly Stone, early Motown of any kind, etc... And because of their flare for improvisation on anything from simple folk to progressive jazz, I learned to love The Grateful Dead. After playing and touring with The Watching, Timothy Pure, Libra Square and Nick Savage and Friends, in 2000, I decided to look into hiring the best band that I could for the Nick Savage Band. Drummer John McKnight, and bassist Steve Mays came over from The Barry Richman Band. That was the official start of NSB. We did the entire club scene in ATL, Athens, Georgia, the Southeast. We were featured artists with the City of Atlanta's Summer Concerts in the Parks, the Montreaux Music Festival, ATL Dogwood Festival, Dekalb Jazz Fest, several Z93/Dunham's events including live broadcasts from the Brandy House. We've done shows with Cowboy Junkies, Col, Bruce Hampton, The Fiji Mariners, Kevin Max of DC Talk
