Established in January 2013, progressive psychedelic funk rock band Nice Couch has been busy consistently touring the stages of the US east coast music scene as much as possible, while at the same time perfecting their craft as one well maintained unit. With hundreds of shows under their belts, performed at hundreds of venues and festivals across the region, this professional quality, seasoned, experienced, and native Virginia rock and roll band is eager and willing to do what it takes to spread the Nice Couch sound, vibe, feel, and soul.
Nice Couch pulls influence form bands such as, Umphrey's McGee, Lettuce, The Allman Brothers, Dire Straights, Parliament Funkadelic, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Primus, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Frank Zappa, and Jimi Hendrix to name a few. Nice Couch has shared the stage with National and International acts such as Keller Williams, The Pimps of Joytime, Moon Hooch, Particle, The Motet, TAUK, Dopapod, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Big Something, as well as many others.
Originated in the small southwest Virginia college town of Radford Virginia, Nice Couch has made constant and steady strides since their early days proving them to be a staple in the Virginia and surrounding areas live rock music circuit. In 2018 Nice Couch packed up and relocated to Richmond Virginia in search of a better fitting home base with a more thriving music scene which they have found and currently reside.
