The Nace Brothers Band first played together on December 31,
1981. Twenty-six years later, they're still going strong with three original
members -- David Nace, Jimmy Nace and Tim Williams -- and their newest member,
T.J. Erhardt. The band is now musically unstoppable, touring 220 dates over
50,000 miles a year. For the Nace Brothers Band, music has been and always will
be a way of life.
| But what sets The Nace Brothers apart from so many other bands on
the road today? It's the soulful, aggressive vocal style of leader David
Nace. Brother Jimmy also
shares the spotlight, with a guitar that flows with the same soulful
emotion. For these reasons and others, the band has found themselves
catapulted into national status -- all the way from their Warrensburg,
Missouri home.
Rich in musical heritage, Dave and Jim have found themselves
following in the footsteps of their father, Johnny Nace. Johnny took
Kansas City by storm in 1968 when he charted two regional hits -- Blue
Notes and Midnight Train, selling over 40,000 copies each.That
success landed him on tour with Carl Perkins, Buck Owens, Ernest Tubb, and
the list goes on. But Dave and Jim's musical roots go even deeper. Their
grandfather, Percy, was a real bluegrass fiddler and guitar player. And
their greatgrandfather, Valandingham Nace, was a classically trained
violinist. |
| The band's bassist and violinist, Tim Williams, is also native of
Warrensburg, Missouri. He played his first rock-n-roll gig in eighth
grade, and who should be on drums but David Nace! Tim grew up playing
music with his father, Dr. Hugh Williams, a respected music professor at
Central Missouri State University. Also a graduate of CMSU, Tim brings
versatility to the band. By switching from bass to violin, he allows the
band to revert back to their roots and play an authentic acoustic set
during performances.
In 1996 the band added key boardist T.J. Erhardt from Santa Barbara,
California. T.J.'s talents allow the band to play with more power than
ever before. Switching from Hammond Organ to piano to squeeze box on
acoustic sets, T.J. seems the perfect addition to an already explosive
rhythm section. |
| In 1993, The Nace Brothers Band landed the song "Club 15" on
MCA Records. The c.d., Margaritaville Cafe Late Night Menu, featured Jimmy
Buffett and various other artists. It earned them the opening spot on a series
of Jimmy Buffett shows, with whom they remain in close contact with, still opening shows on the "Club Trini" stage and getting the party started. |
With their newest c.d. entitled, "Moonshine" released and topping the AMA charts at #105, they continue to be the heart and soul of Mid-Americas hottest touring bands.
