 NINETY 2 NOTHIN' has forged a distinctive sound that can be heard on their 2004 CD "Fast Movin' Train", and carries over into their impressive arsenal of cover songs. The band was founded by original members, Mike Edwards - guitar & vocals, and Les Moore - bass & vocals, somewhere in the vicinity of Shawnee, KS circa 2002. Other members of the band include: Chrissy Weigand on vocals and percussion, Mike Hale adding keyboards, horns, and vocals, and David Norlin on drums. While N2N will always remain ambassadors of the classic rock era, they believe in keeping the show fresh with a bit of R&B, funk, and also manage to sprinkle in a couple of current pop tunes. Always striving to entertain the audience, N2N is constantly evolving yet never straying too far from it's roots.

Friends and Family Band

 

Foxlin

 

The reAgents began in the spring of 2009 as an acoustic Americana act mixing Blues, Country, Folk, and Bluegrass. A revolving lineup, at one time reaching as many as nine concurrent members, brought variety and a big sound to the act. The lineup eventually solidified around founding members David Burns, guitar and vocals, Joe Coats, harmonica, and Dan Woody, bass, with Paul Stevenson on guitar and Jeremiah Bokay on drums and vocals. They currently split shows between an old school acoustic act and an electrified jam-band sound.
