Nickelback is a very popular band from Hanna Alberta, Canada, having begun their musical journey in 1995. Original member’s brothers Chad, Mike and Brandon Kroeger, along with Ryan Peake thought it would be cool to play music for a living. The Kroeger family should be pretty proud, as the band had earned two American Music Awards, six Billboard, and 12 Juno awards. They’ve been nominated for six Grammy awards; 32 total awards and nearly 80 nominations.
The band has a renowned sense of humor, as two of the band members like to make hotel reservations under the names of famous dead people. How did the band come up with the name of Nickelback? Mike Kroeger used to work at a coffee show, and the prank at the store was ‘Hey, here’s your nickel back,’ when giving change back to customers. They have a light touring schedule, but it’s worth your time and money to check em out.
