NEW DAKOTA Is a New York City-area trio that covers tunes from The Allman Brothers to ZZ Top and a wide variety of music in between.

You can hear guitarist Todd Johnson’s Texas roots in his guitar licks and soulful vocals. Kevin Walker lays down solid bass lines perfected over years of playing with several previous acts. Van Thorne on drums keeps the rhythm pumping and helps with vocal duties as the band rips through songs ranging from the classic rock of The Doobie Brothers and Jimi Hendrix to the smokin’ blues of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton to the country-influenced work of artists such as Neil Young and The Grateful Dead.  From the most powerful, electrically-charged Pearl Jam or Led Zep tune the band can also ratchet it back and perform acoustically to match any mood or occasion.

This band doesn’t discriminate against any genre—as long as they enjoy playing it and the crowd loves hearing it. Known for their musicianship, song selection, camaraderie, and humor, New Dakota is always a crowd pleaser.
