Wisconsin-born Nichols first picked up a guitar at the age of 14, practising for 12 hours a day as a teenager, and by the age of 21 he had played more than 500 gigs. He added a number of Musicians Institute honours to his CV, including winning the 2010 Jerry Horton competition and 2011’s Les Paul Tribute and Outsanding Guitarist titles. He met his two-man rhythm section, both Swedes, on the day he arrived in Los Angeles and released his debut Live At The Viper Room EP in 2012. Nichols has also recorded with Hendrix studio engineer Eddie Kramer – another great learning experience for the 26-year-old – and has opened for ZZ Top.
Playing through a cranked-up Blackstar, with no pedals and no pick, Nichols makes a virtue of his rawness. It’s a long way from the days when his mother used to drive him to jam sessions, but he’s eager to make his mark in a highly competitive field.
