Nick Hexum and Chad Sexton (of 311)

Nick Hexum and Chad Sexton are from the rock band 311. Hexum, lead singer and guitarist, and Sexton, drummer, helped form the band in Omaha, Nebraska in 1988. The group's third album, 311 (the blue album) from 1995, made them famous on radio and MTV success of the songs "Down" and "All Mixed Up." The follow-up, Transistor from 1997, reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200 album chart and produced three tracks that charted on various radio charts, the title track, "Prisoner" and "Beautiful Disaster." Over the decades, 311 has made a name for themselves through their energetic live shows that showcase the band's mix of rock, metal, funk and reggae. With 13 studio albums in its catalog, and the ability to bust out a cover song such as The Cure's "Love Song" or Human Rights' "Who's Got the Herb?," the number of songs they might play in a given year has crossed 100, Hexum tells Behind the Setlist. In 2022, 311 is performing six albums in their entity on stage. The first two performances were the albums Music and Grassroots in New York City on Oct. 1 and 2. In Chicago on Oct. 22 and 23, the band will play Blue and Transistor. In Los Angeles on Nov. 11 and 12, they will perform Sound System and From Chaos. Each show will be live-streamed.
