What is a Nish?

The Mighty Nish Band is a high energy rock band whose unique sound comes from their ability to mix popular songs from the 50’s to the present with powerful four part harmonies, unique arrangements and a touch of humor.  The performance is not just a collection of enjoyable songs but rather a fun interactive show with audience participation. Once the dancers are on their feet the Mighty Nish Band keeps them there with a tight rhythm section and impressive solos to entertain the dancers and listeners alike.

Everybody asks, “What is a Nish?”  When they hear the band they find out that a Nish is a party and the Mighty Nish is a party band.  People will be on their feet with smiles on their faces.  Everyone will be talking about that great band with the crazy rock and roll accordion – yes, accordion.  A Nish is just plain fun for all ages.

The Mighty Nish Band is named after the not-so-mighty Nishnabotna River that flows through Harlan, Iowa where the members grew up. There they began performing together in the 80’s. The four piece group is made up of two brothers, their cousin, and their long time friend.  The Mighty Nish Band was born in 2003 and it has been pleasing crowds ever since.
