The Mighty Nish Band not the typical cover band. We reinvent songs and make them our own. We surprise crowds by mixing and mashing your favorite tunes with a lot of fun and energy. Everyone from your great, great auntie to your youngest nephew will feel good and be on the dance floor. To keep the party going songs are chosen on-the-fly by reading the crowd. We give you more songs than other bands because, much like a great DJ, there is no break in the music. After each non-stop, interactive, all live set the party continues with your favorite recorded songs pumping through the 10,000 watt sound system. Of course, the music can be as loud or quiet as you want. At end of night your guests will be chanting 'One more song!'

Why hire the Mighty Nish Band? The Mighty Nish Band will remember who we are working for – you. On and off the stage we will work harder than any band to make your event great. From our first contact until we say goodbye we are professional, courteous, honest, accommodating, and accessible.

• Mighty Nish Band was incredible and made our night!!!! Not only courteous, prompt, professional, and accommodating, they went above all expectations. My wife and I will always remember our wedding reception and all the fun our family and friends had, a very memorable and joyous night all thanks to the Mighty Nish Band!!!! A fun, energetic band that vowed to keep the dance floor full.... and they fulfilled that promise! This band is full of a great group of guys, talented, but also honest and seemed to be all around good guys, which made business with them very easy and comfortable! In my opinion --- this is the best band in the omaha area for events/parties!! -- Joe S, Pilger, NE, 9/24/2011

• We hired The Mighty Nish Band for our 10 year Anniversary of our restaurant being open. I was very pleased with their ability to work with the space given. I talked to several of our customers that were here to enjoy the night and I got nothing but great reviews on The Mighty Nish Band. Everyone loved the variety of music they played and had a great time. The band did a good job of interacting with the crowd and we were extremely pleased with the night. I would recommend them to anyone, for any kind of event. I would definitely have them back to our restaurant. Thank You, Stefanie Nichols Evening With Friends Restaurant Milligan, NE -- Stefanie N, Milligan, NE, 3/20/2010
• We had the Mighty Nish Band perform at our wedding reception. From the start, Jason and the Mighty Nish Band were extremely professional and GREAT to work with. They were a blast at the wedding! They chose songs that kept people dancing all night. There were people dancing and having a great time who usually sit and watch. We had NUMEROUS people come up to us that night asking, "Where did you find that band?" We are still getting comments even weeks after the event about how fun it was and how much they loved the band. If we ever throw another party, or have another event we will have The Mighty Nish Band back before a DJ! I highly recommend them! 5 STARS! -- Kristi C, Ames, IA, 5/3/2008
• Jason and the guys were so accommodating in every way possible. They were really understanding regarding the numerous details that go into wedding planning.

• The Mighty Nish Band was an absolute hit at our wedding reception! They were very professional in their handling of everything, and their performance had our guests on the dance floor all night, beginning with their first song. The guests loved the audience interactions with different songs, and an engaged couple at our wedding is now interested in booking them for their wedding next summer. Awesome, awesome, awesome band!! -Annie & Ryan Peyton -- Annie B, Iowa Falls, IA, 8/1/2009

• The Mighty Nish Band was a huge success at our Fly Iowa Kickoff Ceremony. They were very easygoing and very willing to work with the surroundings. The only reactions I got from the crowd was that the band was amazing and everyone wanted to know when we we're going to have them come to King's Pointe again. If you want to have a night full of entertainment check out the Mighty Nish Band, they're sure to please ANY type of crowd. -- Holly G, Storm Lake, IA, 8/8/2008

• They were very concerned that we got everything we wanted played. There was never a lull or dull moment during the dancing. We had a special request for a family member to play a song & they performed with him as well. Many comments from our guests that this was one of the most fun weddings they had been to & I know that part of that was because of the entertainment. -- Barbara D, Omaha, NE, 10/23/2010
