NFN is a central New Jersey based band made up of a very talented, unique mix of musicians blending backgrounds of everything from Pop/Singer-Songwriter to Rock/Punk/Heavy Metal.
The band considers no genre out of bounds as the current set list is made up of an eclectic mix of hard rock hits from the 80’s & 90’s to today’s popular hits. Basically …if the bar crowds want to hear it, NFN wants to play it. While high energy, hard hitting songs like Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name Of” and Papa Roach’s “Last Resort” are on the play-list, mellower hits from Journey and The Outfield are also favorite crowd pleasers performed by the band. NFN’s love of music and performing is evident in their live performances and will capture the interest of all who attend. With this much talent and enthusiasm, NFN has been busy making a big name for itself!
