Get ready for a night of electrifying blues and rock-n-roll with Jimmy Nick & Don’t Tell Mama! Jimmy Nick is an old-fashioned, guitar-slinging blues prodigy who cut his teeth in the legendary Chicago blues clubs of Kingston Mines, Rosa’s Lounge, and B.L.U.E.S. on Halsted. Schooled by the blues greats, Jimmy has quickly made a name for himself as one of the most dynamic performers in the scene.
Over the past year, Jimmy has taken the blues world by storm, recording his first live album at The Raue Center for the Performing Arts, playing over 200 shows, and advancing to the semifinals at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. He’s headlined at Buddy Guy’s Legends and B.L.U.E.S on Halsted, and was even featured on the WGN Morning News.
Jimmy Nick has shared the stage with legends like John Mayall, Ted Nugent, Samantha Fish, and Gov’t Mule, and opened for blues icons such as Eddie Shaw and Bobby Rush. His third studio album, *Rare Breed*, has sold over 1,500 copies and features Eddie Shaw on Jimmy’s original blues track “Greedy Man.”
With his motown-tight band, Don’t Tell Mama, featuring saxophone, bass, and drums, Jimmy Nick delivers high-energy blues and rock-n-roll that captivates audiences and forges instant fans. His electrifying guitar work, fresh harmonica, clever lyrics, and animated stage presence make every performance unforgettable.
