Celebrated folk-Americana act The Nadas have amassed a loyal and dedicated following over the past three decades for their engaging live shows and distinctive 70s-meets-90s sound.
Blending twangy, Stones-era “country honk” with raw, alt-rock energy and wistful, folk-leaning melodies, their music is as alive as it is authentic. The Nadas have shared the stage with The Beach Boys, Bon Jovi, Big Head Todd and Barenaked Ladies.
The band has been inducted into the Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, sold over 300,000 albums (even in a time when you can’t buy a CD player), earned praise from a wide range of major publications, and written the theme song for their hometown—twice.
“This band is obviously exceptional with their vocals and a rousing musical display that in some cases manages to miraculously include the kind of hooks that top 25 singles once possessed.”
— John Apice, Americana Highways
“The Nadas’ melodic brand of Americana – mixed with a healthy dose of 90s alt-rock – has drawn comparisons with Stones-era ‘Country Honk,’ with traces of Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and REM all readily evident.”
