Nick Black with special guest Jac Conner

His stage presence as an entertainer is quite something to behold. Nick pulls the audience in and doesn’t let them go. He creates an experience that he wants everyone to be part of. Pulling people up from the crowd, singing to a fan in the front row…everyone’s included. He grew up between two worlds: his family’s deep ties to church, and his hometown of Memphis where Soul, RnB, Rock N’ Roll, and Blues legends made names for themselves, Black’s sound is an organically grown phenomenon, honed at open mic nights, in church, at hundreds of club gigs, and now on larger stages across the USA.

Since his first album in 2012, The Soul Diaries, his authenticity and passion has been the foundation of his identity, both as a person and as an artist. In March and April of 2020, with touring being shut down, Nick embarked on a record-setting 30 songs in 30 days called “Nick Black’s $ongs from $cratch” on his Twitch channel writing songs in real time from samples, riffs and lyric lines sent in by viewers. He has since written over 100 songs in front of a quickly growing live streaming audience, 12 of which landed on his TWITCH #1 album, which has over 100,000 plays on Spotify.

In 2023, Nick embarked on a new songwriting journey and a more honest approach to his music. This self-therapizing and exploration ultimately became the soon to be infamous and newly released THE MAD ALBUM. This album features a sweet sentiment of loss and love in “Smiling For You” and the title track “Mad, Mad, Mad”, but also unapologetically bashes that “one person we all wish we never met” in “Let You Live” and “IFHY”. Whether you’re sad, angry, or insane, this album’s MADNESS is sure to please.
