I was one of 4 Canadian musician / hockey players who attended upstate NY St. Lawrence University in the 70's. We formed a unique audience-interaction-based rock band called Nik & the Nice Guys.

After graduation, singer Mike Keenan went on to coach the Rochester Americans. I was a CPA in Rochester NY at the time, and we re-formed the band to raise money for charity.

In the late 80's, after Keenan was hired by the Philadelphia Flyers, we performed at 2 NFL Super Bowl parties in New Orleans. We've been performing at such events ever since!

Nowadays, we're known as America's Number 1 Party Band and perform at big events all over the world. Keenan is coaching the Calgary Flames and I am the band manager. It is a little known fact that our show formula is based on combining horn-based rock, Les Femmes de Nik choreography and CANADIAN CULTURE!
