Kelly Center Indie Rock - Nick Lombardo & the Decent OK with Jackson Cole

Nick Lombardo & the Decent OK

The Decent Ok is a Philadelphia-based indie rock band that packs an eclectic blend of rock, pop, and indie anthems to their setlist. Founded in the fall of 2019 by Philly public school teacher and songwriter Nick Lombardo, the band quickly grew into a powerhouse lineup featuring Josh Steingard on drums, Ethan Cain on bass, and James Gaffield on lead guitar. With five genre-bending releases under their belt — Never Been Better, Live at Light & Sound Studio, Vol. II, Still Falling Down, and their latest, Live Animal — The Decent Ok has been making waves across the Philly music scene. Recorded at local studios like Miner Street Recordings, TedAudio, Light & Sound Studio, and in their very own bedrooms, their songs have earned critical acclaim and a growing fanbase. The Decent Ok's sound has reached the USA from coast to coast, having songs recently featured on KEXP in Seattle and WXPN in Philadelphia.

Jackson Cole

A nominee for Best Songwriter in the 2023 Maryland Music Awards, Jackson is as much of a capable songwriter as he is a performer. Performing along the likes of National Acts like LA Guns, Great White, and Danger Danger, as well as sharing stages with Robin Thicke and Fantasia Barrino, he can make it happen.

With a trained, big, powerful, high-range voice that has great flexibility of style, he can sing in the range of people’s favorite singers in bands like AC/DC, Guns N' Roses, Aerosmith, and Journey. 

Stylistically, Jackson infuses soft pop-rock vibes, which are in the same ballpark as The Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox Twenty, and classic Ed Sheeran. He also incorporates stylings of classic rock that appeal to old-school music lovers everywhere. What you end up with is a wide spectrum of great eclectic songs and a feeling like you have discovered a multi-faceted recording artist like Beck or Prince. It’s safe to say the future is bright.

A friendly down to earth young man who likes to put on a good performance and make sure everyone in the crowd feels at home and has a great time!   

His debut album "First Things First" is out now.
