(Artist Report)

Written by: Ginny Gaines  

Imagine a band that sounds like your favorite old-school rock tunes but with a fresh twist, that’s Nathan Bryce & Loaded Dice. They’re a trio from the Midwest, entertaining fans with awesome guitar riffs, loud drums, and a vibe that makes you want to crank up the volume. Nathan Bryce leads the charge with his guitar and singing, Dylan Halacy bangs the drums, and Jerry Paswaters holds it down on bass while adding some backup vocals. They’ve been rocking out together for over ten years, and are still going strong, playing shows and making music that gets people pumped.

The band came together back in 2012 in Springfield, Missouri, a place known for good music vibes thanks to its country and rock roots. Nathan, Dylan, and Jerry all loved the same stuff, classic rock from the ’60s and ’70s, gritty blues, and some of that edgy ’90s sound. They’d already played with big names and toured all over, so they weren’t newbies. They started jamming together, playing little gigs around town, and pretty soon people couldn’t get enough of their wild live shows. Their music mixed old-school cool with something totally their own.

In 2019, Nathan Bryce & Loaded Dice released their self titled debut album. This album has 10 songs on it that include "J.J. Hector," "Night Driver," "Be Good," "Roll The Dice," "Boombox," and "Blues Is All I know." This album helped the band build their fanbase. The trio released their second album titled Dragonfly. This album has 10 tracks on it that include "Chump Change," "Last Call," "Footprints," "Mr. Pride," and "She Is You." This album was well received by fans and critics alike. The released a LIVE album in September 2024 and a new single titled "Soul Connection" in January 2025.

By 2025, they weren’t just a Midwest thing anymore. They started touring the world as the backup band for Taj Farrant, a super-talented young guitarist from Australia. They’ve played cool spots like a bar in Nashville, mixing their rock style with his skills. It’s gotten them tons of new fans. But they still do their own thing too, playing gigs across the U.S. that keeps their sound fresh and entertaining.

These guys play music that feels real, like the kind of rock you’d hear back in the day, before everything got too polished. Nathan’s voice is rough and his guitar playing is wild, kind of like legends from the past. Dylan’s drums are loud and in-your-face, and Jerry’s bass keeps everything steady. When they play live, it’s a blastt, hey can go quiet one second and then blow the roof off the next. Whether it’s their own tunes or a classic like Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid,” or Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Gimme Back My Bullets," they’ve got this magic together that’s hard to find.

Nathan Bryce & Loaded Dice is a band that continues to entertain audiences with their powerful music and dynamic performances. Their unique blend of classic rock, blues, and alternative rock influences sets them apart in the music industry, making them a band to watch out for.
