When The Nth Power hits the stage and starts belting out their distinctive style of soul, funk and rock jams, their audiences feel compelled to get loud while shaking their hips and moving their feet. The talented trio would not have it any other way. The band returned to familiar ground at The Mint in Los Angeles for a high energy set of their tunes that kept the fans dancing. They previously performed at the The Mint for a New Year’s Eve show to close out 2024 and have played at the club several times since their formation in 2012. Drummer Nikki Glaspie also had a monthly residency there with her Nikki Glaspie & the Homies rotating cast of all stars.

With Nick Cassarino on guitar and Nate Edgar on bass joining Glaspie, the band made sure that all of their friends, fellow musicians and fans in the crowd had a great time at The Mint. Cassarino and Glaspie traded vocal duties and shared sweet harmonies all set. When Cassarino was not singing he was blasting out inventive solos and playing funky riffs. The funk was on full display during “Spirits” as Cassarino implored the crowd to “put your hands together.” Edgar pumped out a compelling beat while Glaspie’s pounding drums had the crowd clapping and dancing.

“A New Day” changed things up with an opening reggae cadence that transitioned into their customary soul and rock style, as Cassarino finishing it off with an intense, psychedelic solo. Cassarino and Glaspie harmonized beautifully during “Right Now” and eventually a delicate guitar solo played over a soft bass line transitioned into “Hero.” Glaspie’s sweet vocals complemented Cassarino’s soulful crooning and her intense, slow building drum solos during “Hero” and “Only Love” worked the crowd into a frenzy. “Only Love” was the set closer, and surprisingly the only time the band mixed in a cover, teasing Earth, Wind & Fire’s “Devotion.” They busted out “Take My Soul” for the encore which felt like another change of pace that showed off their versatility. The song features a hard rocking, blues-based riff, with Cassarino going all rock guitar god during an incendiary solo while gyrating and making contorted facial expressions that closed the show.
