Nice Peter is a rock singer/songwriter turned Youtube sensation best known for his hit original series The Epic Rap Battles of History. Hailing from Chicago, Nice Peter made a name for himself playing every small club and open mic in the Windy City. In 2008 he shipped off for LA, where he got his big break in the emerging online entertainment business. He and long-time comedic partner EpicLLOYD (Chicago Native #2) started the Epic Rap Battle Series which pits two quasi-unrelated characters against each other in a musical battle of wits and rhymes. See: Darth Vader VS Adolf Hitler. For his live set at Reggie’s Rock Club, Nice Peter combines his original songs, a medley of popular rap battles and the unique crowd interaction and improvisation that first put him on the map.

The Jackpot Golden Boys from England are “one of the most exciting and experimental bands around” according to Louderthanwar.com. Brothers Alex and Jim are taking a duo version of the band on tour across North America this summer supporting Nice Peter. Stripping down their instruments but cranking up everything else this fun-time duo combine rocking guitar riffs, funky drumming and two part vocal harmonies to make their own unique style of rock. They have built up a great underground fanbase and a large collection of songs with lyrical inspiration coming from the 1980’s, tropical islands, science fiction and horror B movies. Their musical influences are diverse including bands like Weezer, RHCP, and also the Beetlejuice sound track. The Jackpots never fail to have the audience singing along to their catchy hooks and bopping to the beat no matter how bizzare the lyrics or music maybe.
