Sam Marabella- Guitar | Vocals | Harmonica
Jayson Drabeck- Guitar
Daniel Reino- Bass | Vocals
Jeremy Wells- Drums | Percussion


 Sweatin' Like Nixon has raised the bar in their own genre of progressive rock in live performance and studio recordings. Every twist and turn is refreshingly unexpected. There is no "cookie-cutter" pop song anywhere in the Sweatin' Like Nixon catalogue. Influences as varied as Frank Zappa and John Coltrane, from King Crimson to ODB, Nixon create a sound which is complex, improvisational, funky and sometimes inexplicably humorous. No stone is left unturned for SLN by playing collectively over 850 live shows and releasing 4 full length recordings. This
band has accomplished followings in countless markets and sold their music though out the U.S. , Europe and Asia.
     Although each individual member of Sweatin' Like Nixon's musical prowess is impressive, the focus has been on the songwriting. SLN's first release "Fishing in Political Sewers" displays a younger Nixon's collective synergy, flowing effortlessly through style and rhythm changes that only more experienced songwriters could dream of. Nixon's second release "Tunes For The Young People To Enjoy" garnered a downpour of new fans, positive press and awards for the SLN'ers, propelling them in to a shared spotlight with an endless line-up of regional and national acts. These live performances are where they have managed to etch their distinctive signature boldly over an expanse of contrasting genres.
     In 2005, SLN signed a record deal with Bendikson Productions out of Denver, Colorado, and released their third record which is self titled, "Sweatin' Like Nixon". This record along with countless performances has led SLN to be nominated 7 times by the Buffalo Music Awards and awarded Best Original Band, nominated for the Buffalo People's Choice Awards, nominated Jam Band of the Year by WBNY 91.3FM, and signed with ProgRock Records.   This 2010-2011, Sweatin' Like Nixon will release their 4th full length record that was recorded in a day and half. This new
record entitled "Examining The Rubicon" was recorded live in studio and will no doubt take Nixon to new markets with an evolving sound and musicianship that's rare. This and other recordings by SLN can be found on I-tunes and
