Jared James Nichols Jared James Nichols (LP)

(Black Hill Records) 11 tracks

The new album from blues rock virtuoso, Jared James Nichols. With nothing more than a Gibson Les Paul over his shoulder, an amp turned up to the max and a hot microphone, Jared James Nichols produces the kind of rock that roars and rolls unfiltered and unapologetically. The Wisconsin-born, Nashville-based singer, songwriter and guitarist delivers a one-two punch of gritty vocals straight from the gut and fiery fireworks on the frets. After receiving high praise from American Songwriter, Guitar, Guitar World, Relix and many others, racking up millions of streams and playing to sold-out crowds at countless shows, he shows every side of himself on his upcoming self-titled third album.
