Formed in late 2013, Alt_Nation has carefully been assembled with some of the most versatile and talented musicians in North Dallas. Spearheaded by (Bassist/Manager) Jason Forno, his vision for Alt_Nation is that of a band that can easily replicate any of your Alternative Rock/Pop favorites from the last great decade. It's Alt_Nation's drive to make every performance a memorable one as they take the listener on a nostalgic journey back to the era that saw the explosion of Grunge, the rise of Hip-Hop and emergence of Female Pop, and perfectly blend that mixture of tunes that will transport the audience back to when The Clintons held the White House, Seinfeld ruled the TV and everyone had dial-up AOL.
We own our own Yamaha P.A. System w/ 16 channel mixing board, so we can run our own sound if the venue does not provide one for us.
