NICK & JORDAN (Nick Drye and Jordan Clancy)

What can be said about Nick and Jordan? Their friendship and musical journey began in their younger years, playing in each of their respective bands in the Colorado Springs underground heavy metal scene.

Jordan Clancy was laying down the drums in black metal juggernauts Kastigation, while Nick Drye was shredding guitar with the groove/thrash kings Vital Malice. They began playing blues and bluegrass shows together at a young age, and have since progressed to covering multiple different sets of covers, and a very young, progressive studio project between the two of them is also in the works.

Jordan can currently be heard playing the Saxophone and Drums for the Prog Lords knows as Dreadnought, while Nick won't say who he is working with at the moment directly, but just tells all to, "Keep on their toes and be ready for the announcement." What can be expected will be a 2 man set featuring comedy, and covers of all types of genres from many different eras.

Plus a Special Presentation from the Hear Here Poetry Group...

It will be an evening of film... music... poetry... and more!

So come on down to Ivywild School - Saturday, April 14th 7:30-9:30 PM for our Awards Ceremony and Closing Night Party!
