Ritcher and Nelson met in Boston, Massachusetts fresh out of college. Cutting their teeth on the local club circuit, they each fronted popular area bands, and discovered a shared obsession of soul & blues greats like the Staples Singers, Albert King, and Etta James. They began singing together and developed a close friendship that grew over time culminating in the formation of Dwight & Nicole. They started out as a duo with Dwight on electric guitar and Nicole on tambourine, stomping their feet for the beat and singing in harmony. After a move to Burlington VT, they met powerhouse drummer Ezra Oklan (Nicole Atkins, Elle King) and the group quickly formed a trio with Nelson picking up the bass. Now they also feature keyboard wizard Leon Campos.
With numerous releases under their belts, their most recent “The Jaguar, The Raven, and The Snake” just received the deluxe treatment in August of 2024, with the addition of the single, “Saying Goodbye.” Produced by acclaimed producer Joel Hamilton and recorded at his Studio G in Brooklyn and Ocean Sound in Giske, Norway throughout 2022. Album tracks feature the band with guests the Daptone Horns and Arkai Strings, amongst others.
