Johnny Nicholas to Play Live at WOMR
Proceeds to benefit Cape Cod???s nonprofit community radio station.
Provincetown, MA, February 20, 2018: Texas songwriter and blues musician Johnny Nicholas along with Scrappy Jud Newcomb and John Chipman will perform in WOMR???s Davis Space on Sunday March 4th from 3-5 PM.
Make no mistake, Johnny Nicholas knows from the blues. His credentials? Impeccable. Conviction? Immeasurable. And chops? If an instrument???s got strings, keys, or reeds he can play the hell out of it. He???s also a consummate songwriter and a great singer blessed with a warm, toasty growl of a voice that can roll from rumble to croon and back again with seductive ease.
Marcia Ball calls Nicholas ???an extremely engaging innovative traditionalist??? who ???writes instant classics and sings them to break your heart and rock your soul.??? But the key word there is ???innovative,??? because as deep as his roots go ??? and we???re talking about a cat who learned firsthand from the likes of Robert Lockwood Jr., Howlin??? Wolf, Big Walter Horton, and Johnny Shines (to name but a few of the legends he studied under early in his five-decade career) ??? Nicholas does not paint in one color.
As befits a soul who???s spent a lifetime soaking up the flavor of such vibrant music scenes as Ann Arbor, Chicago, South Louisiana and Texas (which he???s called home now for nearly 40 years), his music is full-spectrum Americana ??? a rich gumbo of not just blues, but Cajun, swing, folk, and barrelhouse rock ???n??? roll.
A $10 donation at the door will get you in to see this amazing talent, beer, wine and soft drinks will also be available as well as an oyster raw bar. Tickets are available at WOMR.org and at 508.487.2619 during business hours.
