Ned Nugent is a multi-style Singer/Songwriter
/Bass Player/Performer with heavy-duty Soul Rock & Roll Roots and an unhealthy dose of
Zappa induced disdain for normalcy. In the early 90s, Ned fronted
Grapevine Road , playing Bass and singing lead. The combo was a New
England R&B powerhouse, garnering several Boston area music awards.
In early 1997 Ned jumped on board with Entrain,
the drum-driven World-Pop sensation from Martha's Vineyard , as
Bass Player and Co-Lead Singer/Frontman. What followed was a fruitful
three-year relationship, as the band toured extensively nation-wide
playing more than 600 shows. During that time the band shared the
stage with the likes of Bo Diddley, Charles Neville and Bob Weir;
Sharing bills with Bela Fleck, Sonia Dada, G.E. Smith, Robert Cray,
Booker-T & The MGs, and many more. |

Ned wrote 3 and co-wrote 1 songs for Entrain's
2000 Release “All One”. In addition to playing Bass, Nugent sang lead
on his three tunes and back-up vocals on the CD.
Ned's Song from “All One”, “Arm Yourself”, was picked
up by the USA Network film release “Cutaway” (Tom Berenger, Stephen
Baldwin) in 2000. |

Two other songs from “All
One” were also placed in the movie, the title track “All One” (co-written
by Nugent with Brian Alex , Entrain co-front and fellow songwriter/vocalist)
being the Feature Song of the Film. “Arm Yourself” was the first
single released from the CD, getting added to more than 114 AAA/AC
stations nationwide.
Having split from Entrain in early
2001, Nugent joined forces with his other former-Entrain co-front
Brian Alex , forming Fluffy Puppy. The Puppy continues to play and
record on again off again, leading Nugent to his latest performance
project, called finally NED NUGENT! Armed
only with his Acoustic Guitar, his voice and a collection of masterfully
written songs, Nugent performs a compelling one-man show, showcasing
his talent as a performer, musician and songwriter.
Plus, Ned obsessively churns out hard
drives full of multi-styled music for film and Television placement
in his Own Personal Pro-Tools Paradise ‘til the wee hours of the
morning, week in and week out. |
