NERD HALEN

The Mighty NERD HALEN consists of well-known Actor/Comedian/Host Hal Sparks as its front man as well as having one of the best Edward Van Halen tribute guitar players on the planet in Caleb Rapoport! This tribute band adds all the humor and laughs, with its Nerdy Comedy, that every single other VH tribute leaves out, while delivering a musical replication that is virtually unmatched in this field. Listen for yourself. Nerd Halen will shortly be announced as a late edition to the 2022 Monsters of Rock Cruise. Guitarist Caleb Rapoport is the ONLY tribute artist of any kind listed on the EVH Gear Artists Roster.

NERD HALEN IS: 

HAL SPARKS, an Actor/Comedian known from shows and movies such as Lab Rats, Talk Soup, Dude Where’s My Car, Queer As Folk and many more. Sparks is the ultimate front man with a quick wit, a voice that truly resembles David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar delivered unending boundless energy.

CALEB RAPOPORT Is a lead guitarist who has the incredible honor of being on the artists roster at Edward Van Halen’s equipment brand EVH GEAR. The GIT schooled guitarist and well-known Van Halen aficionado, had the idea to create a Rock show mixing the high-energy music of Van Halen with downright nerdy, intellectual comedy.

VICTOR BRODEN, a bass player/musical director with a resume that features over 40 major-label recording artists including The 27 Show, Dokken, LeAnn Rimes, Little Big Town and Richard Marx among others, also handles the signature Van Halen high-harmonies.

JEFF PAGE, a veteran of the L.A Van Halen tribute band scene, honors the almost impossible Alex Van Halen drum parts.

This super group takes themselves as un-seriously as humanly possible while providing many laugh-out-loud moments over the course of the show. As well as  maintaining a deadly serious commitment to doing the upmost  justice to the original recordings. NERD HALEN  has to be seen, heard, and experienced to be believed.
