Experience the down-home wit and inspirational wisdom of John Floyd, a comedian, author, and proud native of Rocky Mount. Launching his stand-up career at just eight years old during a school talent show, John has since taken the stage over 5,000 times, performing for more than two million people. His career has taken him to all 50 states, over two dozen countries, and given him the chance to work with Oscar, Emmy and Grammy Award winners. John says the men in his family have always been funny and great story tellers. He’s just the first one to do it on a stage instead of a front porch.

For Nirvani – A Nirvana Tribute Experience, it’s much more than simply being a tribute band. It’s about paying homage to a golden era in music and the unique atmosphere Nirvana contributed to that era. Nirvani embodies Cobain, Novoselic, and Grohl in their talent and authenticity. Each band member is dedicated to portraying both the appearance and playing styles of their Nirvana counterparts. This combined with their use of authentic vintage instruments makes Nirvani a live tribute concert experience that leaves audiences simultaneously satisfied and longing for more.
