THE NILES RIVERS BAND

Niles Rivers is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who uses his voice as an instrument to speak life into the world.  His story begins in a Cleveland church, where his father was a pastor.   As the youngest of five children, Niles and his older brother were both introduced by their father to the music of Ahmad Jamal, Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and John Pattitucci by the time they were ten years old. 

“These were the guys I wanted to emulate, they were my celebrities!” he says.  Niles’ father would provide musical instruments for his kids to play music around the house, insisting that they practice each day before they could go outside.  Often their friends’ noses were pressed up against the living room windows, watching them perform before they could come out to play.

After graduating high school, Niles began developing skills in pop music production, inspired by a diverse range of artists from Prince to Bruce Hornsby, Shaun Colvin and beyond.

“These artists showed me that you could sing songs to the world, not just about love but about life. That’s what made me want to sing life-giving songs that help someone, somehow along the way.”

Today, The Niles Rivers Band brings a fresh, unique perspective to musical originals and arrangements by combining multiple genres in a single concert performance.

His band includes: Caleb Hensinger (keys/trumpet), Christopher Sanchez (double bass), Bill Hart (guitar) and Dwight Smith (drums).
