Upcoming

Hey Everyone,

So things have been super busy lately and I thought I’d just take a minute to go over a few exciting things that I have coming up over the next few weeks and months. First up, tomorrow I will be celebrating my birthday by hosting a concert at Angel’s with one of my best friends and musical collaborators Joey Dosik. Joey and I having been working very hard to finish a duo EP that we are making and trying to put out this year and this will be our first official duo concert to showcase this new material and our new project. I am really excited to play duo in a very intimate setting playing some music that is very close to my heart. Joey and his band will also play a set as well as KCRW DJ Aaron Byrd.

Next up this week is the start of a new residency that I will be doing at the Casa Del Mar on the beach in Santa Monica. This night is called the Soul Sessions and is curated/run by master drummer/musician Rob Perkins and will feature amazing singers doing very special soul music. The first few weeks will feature one of the best vocalists around, Chris Pierce. Chris is a huge talent and this will be my first time working with him, so excited!

Then on Sunday I will be doing a showcase at the Soho house with LP and her band (myself, Charlie Paxson, Nick Maybury and Joey Dosik). I am musical director for this band and I can’t wait for people to hear these incredible new songs that LP is writing, they are so good and she is such a special person. LP has a really great team with her and I am really looking forward to doing lots more with her this year.

Next thursday I will be doing two new gigs that will also be regular gigs when I can make them. The first is the new thursday night residency at Casa Del Mar featuring Jessica Vautor singing amazing songs from Brasil and all over the world. After that I will head to the Del Monte Speakeasy to play a duo set with Anthony Valadez for Dirty Kicks, a night that Anthony hosts and will feature us making our own beats and loops and remixing some of your favorite songs live using some live instruments and Anthony on the turntables.

The next week will bring the opening of the Sayers Club, the new home to the Sessions. Jason Scoppa, who is one of the best people I know in this city, has spent tons of time creating a really amazing space and I cannot wait to start doing music there. I will be doing the Sessions night there as well as a new very special night with Josh Lopez. As always you can expect the very best in talent from all areas at these nights and tons of surprises.

Other than all these amazing gigs in town that I will be doing I am also working very hard to finish my second record and should have it done by July 1st and out at the end of this year or the start of next year. I couldn’t be happier with the way that this record is coming out and the process of making it has been really special. This record is very close to my heart and I am just so excited for everyone to hear all the new material. I will be releasing at least 2 new tracks prior to the record being released, one that is a collaboration between myself and Remy Lbo.

Lastly, it looks like Joey and I will be going to Europe to promote our music the first two weeks of September. So far we will be in Finland, Belguim, France, Italy and the Netherlands, but we are hoping to set up lots more and also possibly make a live record while we are out there.

Alright now back to practicing, got to focus!

Hope to see you all at one of these shows coming up,

Nick
