Formed in 2019, the Nick Tauer Band is a high energy country rock band out of eastern Pennsylvania. Rooted in the coal dirt of Schuylkill County. The Nick Tauer band puts a hard hitting twist on a traditional country sound yet these guys aren’t afraid to show a softer side. Songs like “blue lights flashin”, “Coal dirt town”, and “Be mine” show a great versatility which is contributed by some of the bands influences. The band has been nominated by the Central Pennsylvania Music Awards for best country band of 2021, along with many other accolades including being the supporting act for Lee Brice in 2022 for a crowd of 20,000+. With music on all streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon music I encourage you to take a listen! Social media links to Facebook, and Instagram are attached.
