They just couldn’t stomach another night of “Play That Funky Music” or “Brown Eyed Girl.”

After decades of playing separately in successful bands, the members of Shot Glass Nickel began to understand the importance of keeping “the rest” of classic music alive. The music everyone knows and loves, but is not heard at every bar, wedding and yard party. Much more than your average band of weekend musicians, Shot Glass Nickel is a refreshing collaboration of seasoned musicians who have spent years perfecting their collective instruments. They strive to find the music that will pack a punch, evoke a memory, and keep a crowd moving, doing it all with a bluesy hard-cutting edge.
