.....to show off the R&B chops he’d learned from listening to the incredible soul singers of the 1960’s.  NiteCry provided the perfect vehicle for Steve’s passionate love of R&B.
René, Richard, Johnny and Steve went on to release the two successful independent CD’s “Run for Cover” and “Too Cool to be Blue”.  These two excellent collections of original music propelled NiteCry onto the national stage, gaining them prestigious slots at the Monterey Bay Blues Festival and San Francisco Blues Festival.  They also were the West Coast Finalists in the
nationwide KLON Blues Band Search.
After parting company in 2001 to pursue solo projects, NiteCry’s core quartet reunited in 2004.  Having spent their entire career to date working with a single horn player, they felt a true horn section would lift NiteCry to yet another musical plateau.  Chris Marquis joined the band and his presence was immediately felt.  His unique playing style and unparalleled horn arrangements redefined NiteCry’s sound yet again. NiteCry’s efforts were immediately rewarded as they captured first place in the MBBF Battle of the
Blues Bands which landed them a performance on the

Main Stage at the 2004 Monterey Bay Blues Festival.
This melding of the old and the new is in complete evidence on their current CD release “Back in Town”.  This is truly a “home grown” effort as the CD was written, performed, engineered and produced by members of the band.  “Back in Town” showcases NiteCry’s mastery of diverse musical styles without forsaking the blues and R&B roots on which the band was founded.  With the additional talents of drummer Michael L. Jiggets and saxophonist Mike Mendoza, NiteCry has embarked on a rigorous road schedule to bring their new music to fans past, present and future.                              <<<BACK
