The History of Nik

Nik and the Nice Guys was formed by a group of hockey players at St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY. Among them were NHL coach Mike Keenan and present day Nik manager Gary Webb. The group disbanded upon graduation, but re-formed in the 1980's in Rochester, NY when Keenan was coaching the AHL Rochester Amerks.

Originally, the recreated Nik was a means for daytime business professionals to become nighttime party animals, raising funds for charity. With continued success, however, the band has evolved into a full-time professional organization.

Several other bands have been added to the Nik Entertainment stable over the years in response to the demand for specialized themes. Today the organization boasts of a cadre of over 100 artists and event professionals who are committed to providing the ultimate party experience.
