About Me

Email address: [email protected]

*The demos above were recorded with our rehearsal setup, with just two SM58 vocal mic's picking up vocals from PA speakers, and the rest straight from drums & amps! Better recordings to follow!*

We're Nite Owl. We can rock the club/bar/party/etc. with 4 hours worth of upbeat classic rock & blues covers from the 50's to the 80's (newer stuff is coming) including Hendrix, Stones, Allman Brothers, Van Halen, CS&N (and sometimes Y, haha), Joe Walsh, Buddy Guy, Cream, CCR, Stevie Ray Vaughan, etc. We also have some originals in the same vein, and highly danceable & rocked-out improvised jams that don't just noodle aimlessly in C for 20 minutes. We're seeking gigs all over eastern North Carolina from the Triangle (maybe the Triad) to the Coast & Roanoke Rapids to Lumberton for now, maybe farther in the future. We're terrific now, and we're gonna be the best party/cover band in NC before long.
