Proving that soul music can be exponentially greater than the sum of
its parts, The Nth POWER IS ON A MISSION TO SHARE THE LIGHT. Formed
during an impromptu late-night jam at Jazz Fest 2012 in New Orleans,
the relentlessly funky and soulful band believes in music as a higher
POWER TAPPING INTO AN ENERGY THAT IS SIMULTANEOUSLY SEXY AND
SPIRITUAL, with songs that will inspire audiences to dance, groove,
make love or just stand there with goose bumps.
The trio hails from diverse musical backgrounds, races and creeds.
Female powerhouse Nikki Glaspie was Beyonce’s world-touring drummer
for five years before she joined Ivan Nevilles New Orleans funk
outfit, Dumpstaphunk. Bassist Nate Edgar of Groovechild and John
Browns Body perfectly compliments singer and guitarist Nick Cassarino
who came from the Jennifer Hartswick Band and toured with Big Daddy
Kane.
The Nth Power's 2013 independent EP, Basic Minimum Skills Test,
showcases a first glimpse of the spark shared among the group,
delivering gospel-style vocals with soul, jazz, funk and world-beat
riffs in nearly mathematical fashion. They have followed up that
release with a studio album in 2015 "Abundance" produced by Ira
Schickman and live release "To Be Free" in 2016 recorded and mixed by
Paul Diaz.
“It’s my dream team,” said Glaspie, “each one of us is a
songwriter, so when we get together, everything becomes that much
stronger.” Beyond raw skill, however, Glaspie cites a deep spiritual
connection as the glue that binds them together. “Music is what
brought us together, but its the spiritual bond that makes us play so
in touch with each other,” she explained. And at the core of their
vibe is a deviously simple concept the healing power of love.
The Nth Power's inspirational sets have floored audiences at music
festivals like Electric Forest, Bear Creek, Catskill Chill and North
Coast Music Festival. The band has been relentlessly touring and
writing for the past 4 years since their inception and continue to
grow in their mission as they spread love and healing through music
across the land.
Although the band members are based across the East Coast, they
maintain New Orleans as their spiritual home, and the celebratory
essence of that city’s music culture is audible in each performance.
Simply put, there is something pretty magical happening in this band,
and they’re only just getting started. “Were going as far as you
can go on the planet Earth and playing music,” explains Glaspie,
“I don’t know how many times we’ve said it we are so blessed.”
