Nick Rallis Band

Nick Rallis Band Bio:


The Nick Rallis Band is an Independent acoustic/rock/pop band from South Dakota established by Nick Rallis in 2008. Each member has an extraordinary amount of musical vision and talent that when put together, create amazing harmonies and a multidimensional sound. With strong lead vocals (Nick Rallis) and equally talented instrumentals (Paul Tims and Ryan Rickert), The Nick Rallis Band entertains us with great music, written and inspired by Rallis himself. The band is often compared to John Mayer, The Wallflowers, John Legend and Howie Day.

The Nick Rallis Band has opened for talent such as Paul Oakenfold & Crew,
Three6 Mafia, has played with G2G with Def Jam records, and the Johnny
Cash band from the well known “Walk the Line”. They have played at hotspots
such as The Green Door, The Viper Room, The Mint, Dakota Music Lounge and events like the GBK Oscar Gifting Suite. Future shows include Hotel Cafe in LA, South Dakota Ribfest, Jazz Fest and a Summer Tour in the Mid West States.

With being established for one year, the success this band has accomplished together is incredible. Luckily for all the fans of the Nick Rallis Band, the best is yet to come and this band is shaping up to be a great name in the lights. Look out for their upcoming EP, coming soon in Summer ’09.
