311 was formed in 1990 in Omaha, Nebraska, featuring Nick Hexum (vocals/guitar), Chad Sexton (drums), Tim Mahoney (guitar), SA Martinez (vocals/dj), and P-Nut (bass). The band mixes rock, rap, reggae & funk into their own unique, hybrid sound - and 33 years later, the band is still regarded as one of the most entertaining & dynamic live bands in the U.S.
311 frontman Nick Hexum shares, "When we heard KROQ
Almost Acoustic Christmas had an opening, we were stoked to be able to jump in. We've always loved KROQ and are excited to be part of such a great lineup of bands."
As veterans of over 2,000 shows across 27 countries, 311 is one of the longest running original lineups in rock, alongside iconic acts like U2 and Radiohead. 311's celebrated live shows and touring schedule have earned them a vast and dedicated following nationwide.
