With influences drawn from his early experiences in a Baptist church and bars in Milwaukee, Nichols embarked on a globetrotting adventure that began to unravel the answer to his lifelong question: How can he bring the blues of the past into the future? His musical journey and talent have been praised by Rolling Stones and NPR’s All Songs Considered.
