   About NiteRail
“I think people who can truly live a life in music are telling the world, 'You can have my love, you can have my smiles. Forget the bad parts, you don't need them. Just take the music, the goodness, because it's the very best, and it's the part I give'” -George Harrison

"Music is like a river or stream that has come down to us through time, bringing nurture to man's soul...I want to keep this stream flowing...It must spread all over the world." -Ali Akbar Khan

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT.

NiteRail delivers high-energy rock music all night long! This is not background music. It’s a rock show from start to finish that is just as exciting to watch as it is to listen to! You’ll never see the members of NiteRail get bored because they are always seeking to push their limits. The band hashes out a dynamic blend of covers and originals that is sure to engage lovers of live music!

THE BAND. THE MUSIC.

This energetic group, all still in their twenties, is top notch, polished, and air tight. NiteRail is led by one of the region’s top musicians, guitar virtuoso Korey Hicks, whose jaw-dropping heroics on the fret board have your attention from the first note. Paired with vocalist and harmonica player Mike Fugazzi’s soulful baritone and ground-breaking rock harmonica playing, a duo this gifted and exciting goes unrivaled in Minnesota. Along with Konr Ness (bass), Zach Sershon (keys), and James Schneeberg (drums), NiteRail is one of the state’s most talented band. There appears to be no limit to what these guys can do! Their sound can be compared to groups like the Allman Brothers, John Mayer, Blues Traveler, the Black Crowes, Santana, Led Zeppelin, and the Rolling Stones. Whether it is a gut-wrenching ballad, a classic rock favorite, or funky and danceable original, these guys deliver!

RECOGNITIONS

NiteRail’s work has been featured in publications like the Mankato Free Press, Rochester Post-Bulletin, Owatonna People's Press, Faribault Daily News, Blue Monday Monthly, Static Magazine, and Applauze Magazine. Original recordings have been played by radio stations like KFAI, 96.7 The Dog FM, and KMSU.

HISTORY

Formed in 2004, NiteRail has played over 50 venues throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin as both a rock and blues group. Some of the venues played include Famous Dave’s and the Cabooze in the Twin Cites, the Kato Ballroom and Hooligan’s in Mankato, and Oktoberfest and Nighthawk’s in Lacrosse, Wisconsin. NiteRail and its members have also played festivals such as the Tree Frog Music Festival, Mankato Ribfest, Oldtown Summerfest, Summer Solstice, Mid Summer Jazz Festival, and the Chatfield Crawdad Festival.

EXPANSION

You’ll never see the members of NiteRail bored because they are always seeking to push their limits. The band is constantly adding to new and classic hits to their play list and is currently capable of performing over 100 songs spanning rock, blues, funk, and soul.

CAPABILITIES

NiteRail can deliver a full three-hour headline performance as well as festival and opening sets in a duo to five-piece setting. Besides their high-energy rock show, NiteRail is also capable of playing up to a three set blues show. NiteRail tailors set lists to the specific needs of your event and can cover anything from large festival stages to intimate acoustic events – just ask!

Hey guys! I just wanted to say that it was great to see you at the L Cove on Sat... I always enjoy your music! Did I tell you I caught a bit of your act @ Summerfest, too? Love it!
Thanks for all the dancing, it was great fun! I'd come see you in La Crosse this weekend, but I've got to be at the Renn Faire. I couldn't open that bulletin, by the way, dunno if it was a problem w/my page or not, but I tried a few times, and it won't open...
Hope you have a great week!
