DOOR COVER
Drawing from many different musical influences, Scott Nicks is a “melody-first” singer-songwriter. Originally from Truro, NS, Scott has released three full-length records and multiple EPs since 2006. His music has gone through many permutations, from quietly introspective folk, to heavily distorted indie rock dripping with sludge, to bright piano pop epics lush with symphonic instrumentation. Scott Nicks is backed by seasoned musicians in drummer Jordan Murphy ( Walrus ), bassist Andrew Mawko ( Verry Gerry ) and guitarist Justin McGrath ( Shadow Folk ). Having a significant amount of unreleased music and taken a nearly decade-long hiatus from playing his own music, Scott and his band are back to play a mix of older songs and newer unreleased material that will leave you wanting more.
"Scott Nicks, if he wanted to, probably could have categorized his latest album—almost five years since his last—as dream pop. If he decided to go in that direction, he would be one of the few artists on the planet whose music actually fits that description." - Michael Thomas, Gray Owl Point , on Scott Nicks’ 2015 release, “String of Dreams” .
