ABOUT

I'm a songwriter/ Lead vocalist/Rhythm guitar player.I'm rebuilding my band that I created many years ago.
We Stopped because of covid. I am the only original player. And I am rebuilding our band with some amazing musicians. We have a huge respect for one another we are like family. And we want to keep it that way. We have a very good vibe within this band that we want to keep. We all know that everybody has their part to make this band great. And we all do our part to do that. And we have a great time playing music together.

Now ready to rock again.This will be cover songs and Original songs that I have been playing for a long time.my old band was 41South.from 2008 to 2012. Then after 10 years several people were playing under my name 41 South. And we didn't even know who these people were. So I renamed my band. Our Southern Pride. And have played underneath that name since 2013. A few of our members have passed away . In our new lineup has just started playing music together this year.
I always say the music will speak for itself . AndAll Egoes and drama should be checked at the door. We don't have time for that. And we won't put up with that because that destroys the Bands and we know that. Every one of us want to play great music. And we work in the studio from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday afternoons . Only time that ever changes is we have a show that night . And we will make sure that we schedule things so we have all the music down before we even play Anywhere . And not just talk about it but actually do it. And that is exactly what we have done. I have songs on YouTube under Nick Valceanu 41South.
They are that all has copyrights on them. I have wrote over the yrs of playing. Here are some of the songs name titles.
