“The Nth Power achieve what few bands in their genre are capable of: that is, melding instrumental prowess to song-craft” — Huffington Post

The Nth Power believes in the healing power of music. This all-pro alignment of sharp and seasoned musical vets delivers a transcendent blend of soul, funk, rock and rhythm and blues with multi-part vocal harmonies and songs that inspire audiences to dance, groove, make love or just stand there with goosebumps.

The band’s electric live performances have been flooring audiences ever since the group formed in New Orleans during an impromptu jam during Jazz Fest nearly a decade ago, and their inspirational sets have astonished audiences at music festivals like Electric Forest, High Sierra, Peachfest, North Coast Music Festival and Hulaween. After an EP, studio album and two live albums, the band returned in 2021 in support of their second full-length studio release, Reverence, which was featured on the first-round nominations ballot for the 2022 GRAMMY Awards.

The Nth Power hails from diverse musical backgrounds, races and creeds, but the universal language of love and its power to change lives is the thread that binds them. The trio features drummer Nikki Glaspie, whose credentials include Beyoncé, Maceo Parker, Dumpstaphunk (with which she appeared at the Festival in 2014) and countless more; guitarist and lead vocalist Nick Cassarino, known best for his previous work with Jennifer Hartswick and Big Daddy Kane; and bassist Nate Edgar of reggae giant John Brown’s Body.
