The formula starts with heavy-hitting drummer Nikki Glaspie (Dumpstaphunk, Beyonce)’s deep pocket, explosive energy and silky vocals, compounded by bassist Nate Edgar (John Brown’s Body), whose quiet confidence lies in perfect contrast to the emphatic, funky low-end he creates. Next, Nigel Hall (Lettuce, Warren Haynes Band)’s unmistakable vocals and innate ability to preach with a keyboard hit the groove in full force. Over the top comes Nick Cassarino (Jennifer Hartswick Band, Big Daddy Kane), oozing more soul in one finger than most guitarists could create in a lifetime, and with a voice that immediately wraps the room in sex appeal. West African djembe master Weedie Braimah (Toubab Krewe, Kreative Pandemonium) is the final X-factor, creating a rhythmic symphony that ties the whole equation together with flagrant finesse.


Together, The Nth Power wants to change your life through a message of musical love and understanding. “Just know that when you hear this music, you’re going to feel something — you’re going to connect with something higher than yourself,” said Braimah.


Celebrating their year anniversary, December’s “Thank You” tour follows the April 20, 2013 release of Basic Minimum Skills Test, a six-song EP the group unleashed on the streets of New Orleans during Jazzfest. There, early buzz about The Nth Power first took hold, and the band has since appeared on a handful of festival lineups, including Electric Forest, Gratitude Harvest Festival and Bear Creek Music Festival.


“The sound we create is built on a strong foundation of love,” said Hall. “We’re just getting started, the best is yet to come
