Nick later stepped out with other musicians and founded the high energy group Northern Departure, and subsequently co-founded the band North Country. In 2014, Special Consensus, one of the most prominent bands in bluegrass, hired Nick as one of their lead singers and mandolin player. Nick toured the globe with Special Consensus and recorded two albums, including one album that was nominated for a Grammy and also won three IBMA Awards, including the “Album of the Year” award in 2018.
In 2019, Nick put out his first album independently which received rave reviews and spent a significant amount of time on the bluegrass radio charts. In Spring 2022, Nick signed with Skyline Records out of Nashville, TN, releasing his second album titled “Details,” demonstrates Nick’s musical diversity, maturity, and composing ability. Further, “Details” contains a roster of heavy hitting musicians and song writers and also did very well on the airplay charts. In 2023, Nick was nominated for IBMA Momentum Vocalist of the Year, as well as a song of the year nomination with SPBGMA in Nashville.
