Nick Marra

Nick has been entertaining crowds with his down-to-earth comedy for over 20 years. Drawing on his experiences from growing up in an Italian Catholic home, to his current family comprised of two sons in their 20's and a daughter (16 years later), audiences easily relate to his quirky observations.

Dan Viola

Dan connects with any audience, especially those willing to think "outside of the gutter." Drawing on his background as a game show host, parent, teacher, coach, and salesman, he will entertain without insulting

His credits include corporate events, comedy clubs, casinos, private parties, cruises, VFW Posts, bars, colleges, wedding receptions, churches, The Nashville Network and TV commercials.

bruce in the uSA fundraiser concert at batavia downs

Featuring Headliner Bruce In The USA - A Bruce Springsteen Tribute Band, with special guests 97 rocks Dave Jickster and comedian Nick Marra.

Much more than just another tribute… Bruce In The USA is a high-energy, note-perfect, and visually accurate musical experience of a Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band show.

Matt Ryan, from the World Famous “Legends In Concert” cast, began playing the Springsteen character in 2000, in Legends “full scale” Las Vegas show. The great success in the famous Las Vegas show brought him to performances across the world, eventually evolving his character into the Bruce In The USA show.

The Bruce In The USA Band consists of seasoned world class professional musicians. The show has hosted musicians from such acts/bands as Queen/Paul Rogers, Meatloaf, Blue Oyster Cult, Hall and Oats, Joe Cocker, The Ojays, Aretha Franklin, David Cassidy, The Temptations, Slash… and so many more.

This high end, powerhouse, band has taken this genre of performance art to a whole new level, making it the World’s #1 Tribute to the E Street Band’s musical legacy.
