THE RESILIENT BAND
In 2012, after suffering devastating injuries in Afghanistan, lead vocalist Tim Donley and guitarist Nate Kalwicki were rehabilitating at Walter Reed Military Hospital. During that time they joined MusiCorps, a music program for wounded warriors, where they befriended professional musician and teaching artist Greg Loman. With fresh wounds and a vast new space to fill in their lives, the veterans plunged into the spiritually, physically and emotionally healing pursuit of music, practicing relentlessly and forming a lasting brotherhood in the process.
As part of the MusiCorps Band, they had an opportunity to perform with rock legend Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) at The Beacon Theater, Constitution Hall, and Madison Square Garden. It was during these shows that they first jammed with recently discharged drummer Juan "Dom" Dominguez - a decorated Marine and triple amputee whom Roger had brought on board - and in sharing the experience they realized that forming their own group was inevitable. Nathan's brother Erik, a talented bassist, was brought on board to round out the band.
Since then The Resilient have independently released original tracks and performed in concerts all over the U.S., gaining traction as a unique, unforgettable act by stunning audiences at conventions, galas, dive bars, universities, and music festivals.
DNA BAND
Opening band DNA performs at local clubs & music venues all over South Florida. With their ability to deliver a REAL ROCK n ROLL experience, they have performed at many festivals & charity events, including the Toys In the Sun Run as support for headliner, Bret Michaels & for Rock By The Sea, as support for headliner, Sister Hazel. They are a featured band at the South Florida Fair as well.
