Festival and club shows across the country have attested to the band’s momentum and poularity with music fans of all kinds. The Nucleus conjures a sound that is both classic and modern, drawing on the blues, jazz, and folk roots of American music while cultivating the sense of power and urgency that make rock’n’roll so great.
