Nocturnal Rush

Nocturnal Rush is comprised of five young and talented musicians that are passionate about playing music and entertaining audiences. Although they are only ages 12-16, they rock the house like seasoned pros and amaze audiences wherever they perform. These young teens live in three counties in the Northern Virginia suburbs outside Washington DC, bringing together the most talented kids around!
In early 2010, powerhouse lead singer Kaela Heiston and talented bassist Aidan Hall joined forces with drummer Jake Rosenthal and lead guitarist Trevor Fichtner to form Nocturnal Rush. Unlike many teen bands that change players every month or two, the musicians of Nocturnal Rush are in their second year together and going strong. Recently added to the band is the talented keyboard/vocalist John-Paul Heaney, a 7th grader who at the age of 12 is a veteran of Juilliard’s summer music program.
Nocturnal Rush has performed in prime venues in the mid-Atlantic, including the Celebrate Fairfax! Festival, the State Fair of Virginia, Jammin’ Java, Richmond’s famed Carytown Watermelon Festival, the Youth Rock Live! tour through the Baltimore area, as well as local and regional festivals and fairs.
Before joining Nocturnal Rush, band members opened for Forever the Sickest Kids (Universal) and have performed at major venues including Jaxx Night Club, the Juilliard School Jazz Ensemble, the Adams Morgan Day Festival , and the Sylvan Theatre. The combination of ability, practice, dedication and energy is evident in their music and live performances.
“Those Kids Absolutely Rock!”
