Welcome To The Wedge Brothers Band
The Wedge Brothers Band has performed all around Las Vegas, as well as across the country for more than 25 years. Founding Member Tom Rojas on Rhythm Guitar and Vocals has led the band from its inception. With touring and recording musicians Steve Nation on Lead Guitar and Vocals, Jack Roth on Drums, and Alex Prues on Bass, the band has found its perfect combination as the ultimate entertaining party band, often interacting with the crowd, combined with some serious musicianship, perfect for corporate gigs and major music venues!
And, we are excited to announce that the very talented Kelly Sheehan is now taking on the role of Lead Singer! Kelly has been performing around Las Vegas for the last 30-plus years and brings a huge dynamic and a much wider range of songs that the band now performs!
The Wedge Brothers have performed in most major concert venues here in Las Vegas, including on the Floating Stage at Lake Las Vegas when they opened for the band America on the 4th of July, and the South Point Arena, kicking off several JuneFest Concerts over the years, which featured national acts like Styx, Grand Funk Railroad, The Commodores, 3 Dog Night, Teri Nunn & Berlin, The Fixx, The Romantics, and many more.
In addition, they have performed at the House Of Blues and The Joint at The Hard Rock, as well as outdoor festivals and pretty much every bar and tavern in town!
The Wedge Brothers also travel across the country, performing in Austin, St. Louis, Philadelphia, San Antonio, Long Beach, Montreal, New Orleans (House of Blues two times), and Minneapolis, where they performed in the famous 1st Avenue 7th Street Entry Venue (Prince’s home venue and where he filmed Purple Rain).

STEVE NATION
LEAD GUITAR & VOCALS
Steve Nation
Steve grew up in Seattle where he played every bar, coffee shop, school dance, pool hall, rock club, kids party, strip club, political rally, mental hospital, parade, pro-sporting event, and ski lodge that he could.
Then he moved to Nashville where he played every honky-tonk, concert hall, record store, toy store, adult toy store, drag bar, church service, funeral, drug den, rehab clinic, library, pizza joint, jail, and even the Grand Ole Opry Stage that he could.
Then he went on the road playing every state in the US, over a dozen countries, festivals, happy towns, sad towns, bowling alleys, a deaf college, a comedy club, a fishing lodge, and honky-tonks (they’re in every town) that he could.
And now he’s in Vegas playing every casino, racetrack, arena, strip club, wedding chapel, funeral parlor, biker bar, dive bar, private luxury suite, mansion, and honky-tonk (yes, they’re in Vegas too) that he can.

ALEX PREUS
BASS GUITAR & VOCALS
Alex Preus
As the newest member of The Wedge Brothers, Alex has been handling the bass for more than 10 years. Alex grew up with a passion for music and began playing guitar and bass in middle school, eventually ending up on the stand-up bass. He attended the Las Vegas Academy, which specializes in the arts, and his focus was in the music program. Upon graduation, he was accepted into the prestigious New School in New York City, where he studied a variety of music, including classical and jazz, as well as music theory.
Alex spent most of his college on the stand-up bass, but upon his return to Las Vegas easily transitioned into electric bass with the band. Alex can also be found performing around town with other jazz and classical musicians.
In his spare time, he enjoys working out and eating sushi!
KELLY SHEEHAN
LEAD VOCALS
Kelly Sheehan
Kelly has famously been singing and performing around Las Vegas for the last 30-plus years, including with several of her own bands (most recently Kelly & The Strays), as well as with The Wedge Brothers for the past 20-plus years as a guest singer and now is officially the lead singer of the band! Her role as the lead singer has helped further elevate the band’s performances, especially during our live shows!
Her vocal talents can be considered a mix of Stevie Nicks and Janis Joplin, sprinkled in with some Melissa Etheridge, yet she can sing virtually all types of genres, including jazz, rock and country. Our set lists now include great artists such as Janis Joplin, Fleetwood Mac, Amy Winehouse, Little Big Town, Miley Cyrus and so much more!
