The Nick Moss Band

Sunday March 30, 2014 @ 7:30 PM

NICK MOSS AND HIS BAND have been featured performers at blues festivals across the globe, but it’s at home in Chicago — the cap- ital city of the blues — where he and his band get the ultimate stamp of approval from one Hall of Famer and blues icon Buddy Guy. Music fans the world over come to his famous club where they’ll often find Moss playing that prestigious stage, booked by the icon himself because “Nick is a favorite at my club, Legends. He always works hard to please the audience.” Other luminaries are equally effusive in their praise, rare in the competitive world of guitar gods, as none other than former Roomful of Blues bandleader and distinguished solo artist Ronnie Earl declares “Nick Moss is my favorite guitarist,” high praise from one of the greatest practitioners of the instrument.

His creativity, which has advanced his sound to incorporate new styles and ideas, has made an impression on blues master Jimmy Thackery, who says, “Nick is at it again, pushing the evolution of his music, stylistically as well as sonically.” Moss’ recording career has brought him numerous accolades and his albums have been staples at blues radio nationwide, but he crosses boundaries now, and his songs have scored at rock and jam band stations as well. As a result, 2011’s Here I Am debuted at an impressive #2 on the Relix / Jambands.com Radio Chart.

Moss’ aptness to please purists and cross boundaries that have helped him connect with audiences worldwide, winning fans and making friends every night in every city when he and his band take the stage. All the great ones make their mark onstage and that’s where Moss is at his best. His superior talent is evident on his studio albums, but it’s his live albums and performances that put him in the rarified territory with the greats. Discover for yourself what Buddy Guy, Ronnie Earl, Jimmy Thackery, and audiences the world over already know: an evening with Nick Moss is an unforgettable experience — one not to be missed!

“A perfect mix of tradition and innovation...” — Elmore

“Immediate appeal for anyone who enjoys classic rock, and is hip enough to grow on open-minded true blues fans. Nick Moss remains an artist with important things to tell us.” — Blues Revue
