NICKEY at Nook: Concert Series

This latest run of shows at Nook features an emphasis on Coffee House style acoustic performances of songs- stripping songs to their core with the help of some etherial and ambient layers via loop machine, drum machines, vocal harmonizers and more. I am attempting to take part in a redefining of stripped down music as our tolerance for sophisticated production techniques grows. I appreciate a good song stripped down to its essential melody and chords-defining only its harmonic structure. However I often miss the emotional effect production techniques like backup vocals, hard vocal tuning, synth bass, atmospheric reverb and guitar layers add. This setlist will be specifically crafted for Nook's space and I look forward to exploring just how much is necessary to convey a song in 2024.

From Buffalo, NY, NICKEY emerges as a dynamic pop songwriter, gearing up to unveil his latest single in Summer 2024. With a knack for blending analogue synthesizers and blues-infused R&B guitar work, NICKEY has made waves in the indie music scene as well as pop and hip hop- having penned tracks for The Underachievers, Brass Tracks and more. His upcoming release, “Apparition” crafted alongside indie producer Justin Pizzoferato in Western Massachusetts—a indie legend whose work is featured 10 times on Spotify's Indie 2010s playlist—promises a fresh showcase of NICKEY's soulful songwriting and innovative sound, solidifying his position as a rising songwriter and performer with a penchant for pushing the guitar's boundaries in Indie Pop.
