About Corner Boys
Featuring outstanding guitarwork, wonderful harmonies, and the original music of Kris Nichols.
Dave Kunzweiler, Paul Hilderbrand and Michael Rothstein, aka Corner Boys, together bring their lifelong passion for music to the stage. The name Corner Boys comes from an east coast tradition of late night harmonies sung on the street corner.
Not your typical acoustic cover band, the Corner Boys playlist runs from Lyle Lovett, to Michael Jackson to our own Kris Nichols. The attention to detail, dynamics and nuance makes for an evening of fabulous music. Their goal is to touch people with their music and to share the joy that they get from their art.
