About

Nice On

since circa 2021
Nice On is a pop-funk powerhouse with a reputation for fueling high energy dance moves on and off stage. Featuring infectious riffs and tight grooves, their performances evoke a rich funk history with heavy live improvisation while weaving contemporary soulful vocals, wild percussion, and tight horn lines, leaving catchy ear worms behind for days. Named one of Exclaim’s “New Faves” in January 2024, the band is hot off the trail of a packed year; releasing their debut live off the floor album No Jokes in April 2023; performing at several significant festivals around Ontario such as Back To the Farm, Limestone City Blues Fest, Spring Reverb and Nuit Blanche North; and additionally recording two tracks as artists in residence at the Kingston Grand Theatre. Their single “Pay Off Baby” from the residency released Dec 2024 and its music video premieres at KCFF 2024 as a part of the Slaight Music Video Program. Nice On can be relied upon to bring a fresh and exciting sound, leaving crowds eagerly awaiting their next performance.
