The "On Tap" report

On Tap @ Lincoln Inn this Friday Night

Nightrain heads back to On Tap at the Lincoln Inn this Friday night (8/27).  Band will hit the stage around 9pm.  This will be our last show until October as the band takes a needed break through September.

Up next for us will be a return home to Saint Albans at Karib Club.  Karib kicked off our 2010 tour, and we can't wait to rock the screws loose on our home turf.  Big place, huge crowds, multiple bars, plenty of cold drinks, and amazing service with a smile by Danielle and crew.  Yeah, it's gonna be an amazing night..

Fred and the crew welcome Nightrain back to Backstage in Essex JCT on Saturday October 16th.  This has been a band mainstay for the last 5 years and proves to be a wild time every time!

UnderCover Music Festival...UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Nightrain headlined the innaugural UnderCover Music Festival this past Saturday night in Sheldon, VT.  The festival was not only an amazing success, it was the LARGEST Nightrain show in the history of the band.  Over 700 people (!!!) packed the Sheldon Casino Pavillion to the rafters as the boys performed two sets of music that stretched over FOUR HOURS! 

WIZN and the BUZZ were on hand to help get the tailgate party started and then Sheldon's own, The Roadhouse Gangstaz, took the stage for a blistering set of great rock covers.  After a short break, the Nightrain boys hit the stage running with a loud and wild version of Crazy Train that nearly blew the roof off the Pavillion.  Four hours and two encores later the guys said thank you to the phenomenal crowd by playing them out to Killing in the Name Of.

Special thanks to the Abbey Group, the Franklin County Sheriff's Department, and everyone that showed up and made the first UnderCover a memorable one!  And the answer to your question is YES!  We will be back next year with the 2011 UnderCover Music Festival.  Plans are already being made for next year's fiesta where it is our hope to have two bands open up the show and to increase the amount of tickets available for sale.  Check back here often for future announcements regarding next year's festival.

UnderCover Saturday and a look back @ Breakwaters

It is almost here, the most anticipated show of the summer...UnderCover!!  The weather looks to be perfect and the bands are pumped to rock Northern Vermont!  If you missed the summer outdoor show at Jay Village in 2008, be sure to check out the 1st annual UnderCover Music Fest.  The Roadhouse Gangstaz are going to play with us and we couldn't be more excited.  Nearly 300 tickets have been sold and it is going to be a great party.  Located under the outdoor pavilion at the Sheldon Casion, The Abbey will be hosting and serving food and beverage (in case you didn't know, your ticket gets you free food!), WIZN the Wizard of Rock will be broadcasting live all day long from the Casino and providing bumper music between bands.

Pictures from the Breakwaters show have been posted and the show was a huge success.  We definitely plan to play there again and would like to thank all the friends of the band for supporting us!!  A very special thanks to Grace and Taylor O. for making a special appearance at the show.  April R. took some great pics and video that will be edited and posted sometime in the near future...many thans from the band!!!
