Nicole's “distinctive, inventive bass work”—which resulted in her becoming the first female to receive nomination for the Blues Foundation's 2014 Blues Music Award for Best Instrumentalist - Bass—“is the product of years of intensive roadwork; and although her voice draws comparisons to artists such as Susan Tedeschi, Bonnie Raitt and Etta James, it is only the feeling in which she will invoke those memories. Nicole’s show, style and tone are all her own and can only be experienced.”
Current line-up consists of Co-founder Brandon Miller on guitar and vocals and World Renowned Drummer Go-Go Ray.
