Nomad is the crystallization of a journey. The Engelman brothers first discovered music in their hometown of Chicago; what followed was the developement of a musical experience to which audiences are instantly drawn. Although Nomad was born in New York City in 2003, brothers Guy (lead and rhythm guitar, vocals) and Daniel Engelman (bass, vocals) developed their playing style through many years of collaboration.
During their travels, the brothers have picked up on various styles of music and one can hear that. "Nomad , like their name implies, is made up of well traveled musicians. This, I feel, is reflected in the material they write and their performance of each piece" (B. Donovan, Northeastintune.com). Nomads indispensable influences are based in Blues, Soul and Classic Rock; but the music retains a mysterious quality fueled by an exotic sound that is in constant harmony with the spirit of Rock & Roll.
Soul joined with passion is the exquisite combination that Daniels voice and Guy's songwriting, respectively, bring to the band. Their influences range from Motown to Flamenco, Soul to Blues, Funk to Rock. Nomad is music that is prepared like a Rock & Roll salad, but is unified in the originality of its sound.
The band recently completed their second recording with producer/drummer Nir Z, whos impressive discography includes collaborations with Chris Cornell, Genesis, John Mayer, Joss Stone and Billy Squire, to name a few. The EP is a clean and focused representation of what the band can do on its own in the studio. They have achieved a sound containing precision both sonically and musically. For this project Nomad also collaborated with female vocalist Betsy Winchester on "Through Loving Me."
The musicians of Nomad are very well rounded. Guy has a wide range of guitar playing covering many styles and his rhythm can often be as lyrical, sharp and full of feeling as his lead playing. Guy's experience as an assistant studio engineer (Water Music, NJ) has also made him into a very mature player. Daniel solidifies the band with creative bass lines and is skilled in many other instruments, adding a musical blueprint for any song. Daniel is also an electrical engineer and has worked for Sadowsky Guitars, Epiphani Amplification and currently designs effects pedals for Electro-Harmonix.
The newest addition to the band is drummer and New Jersey native Ben Antelis. At 20 hes been playing for 12 years and as the oldest of nine siblings in a musical family, Ben is extremely experienced on the stage as well as in the studio. He is the new beat machine in Nomad and is an exciting and energetic addition to the band.
Nomad maintains consistent crowds throughout New York City, opening for bands such as The Breakfast, Addison Groove Project, Raq and Bomb Squad and has performed on the Rocks Off Boat Cruise, at The Knitting Factory, Arlene's Grocery, CBGB's, The Lion's Den, Tribeca Rock Club and Snitch. They have kept on the road, playing at Wheeliefest (Rowland, PA), as well as in Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Portland (ME), The Green Apple Festival in New York and in New Jersey, Connecticut and many other places in between.
The band celebrated the release of its debut album at a sold out show at The Elbo Room in Chicago last November. The self-titled CD can be purchased at their website www.nomad-music.net.
The group received a five star song rating for "Through Loving Me" on George Martin's garageband.com. In the Americana and Groove Rock categories Nomad has also received the following awards: Track of the Week, Track of the Day, Most Original, Best Guitars, Best Drums, Best Lyrics, Best Male Vocals Best Production and Best Beat.
The members of Nomad subscribe to a basic philosophy about Rock & Roll: "The Rock" gets your Heart while "The Roll" gets your Soul. Nomad achieves a balance of both elements in their music and aims to renew the duality of spirit in Rock & Roll.
Extraordinary Performance, musical craftsmanship, captivating songwriting . . . this is Nomad.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.
I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
Christian
