Nitro Express is hands down the finest Country & Country-Rock band in Southern California. They have been playing consistently in San Diego and all over Southern California, Arizona, and Nevada for 15 years and have gained a reputation for their incredible sound and versatility. Though typically billed as a Country or Country-Rock band, Nitro Express has a variety of influences. When they play a Classic Country song it is authentic, and when they play a Classic Rock song it is equally authentic. With 4 strong singers, superb harmonies, virtuoso musicianship, and a strong beat, they are one of the most entertaining acts on the West Coast.
I had them perform at my event at a senior Living Community. They were GREAT !!!! We will continue to book with them. My Residents LOVED them
Nitro Express played country music for our employee event. They played a variety of country music, but they were very in tune with the crowd's mood. They adjusted the playlist to include a variety of music to please the diverse crowd. Our employees had a blast!
Great group. I highly recommend.

Southern California's Finest Country & Country-Rock Band
Nitro Express is hands down the finest Country-Rock band in Southern California. They have been playing consistently in San Diego and all over Southern California, Arizona, and Nevada for over 10 years and have gained a huge reputation for their incredible sound, versatility, and being the hardest working band in the area. Though they are based in San Diego, they are available to perform in Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino, & Imperial Counties, as well as in Arizona, Nevada, and any other area of the USA & Canada.
Nitro Express has been averaging about 200 performances a year at various Casinos, Corporate Events (Qualcomm, Kaiser Permanente, La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art), 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 or Country-Rock 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.
