Scott Nicks
Originally from Truro, N.S. and now based in Halifax, Scott Nicks has been steadily building his name in the east coast music scene.
Nicks released his a five-song demo recording in late-2006 and followed it up with the full-length, A Song for Tuesday Blues, in 2008. For that recording, Keith Doiron (bass) and Jordan Murphy (drums) were added to The Scott Nicks Band. Brad Lahead of Long, Long, Long also performed on the record.
In December, the band released a new record, Slowly, and recently added guitarist Justin McGrath to the group while Billy Habib Taylor (Tupperware Remix Party) fills in on bass while Doiron is in school.
The group is now focused on touring as much as possible and has shared the stage with the likes of Old Man Luedecke, Mathias Kom and Kim Barlow (Spring Breakup), Hooded Fang, Maylee Todd, Michou, We Are The City, Aidan Knight and others over the years.

And what’s extra cool – the boys are donating a portion of the sales from the single to Cystic Fibrosis Canada.
Also coming out of Moncton, Rik Reese & Neon Highway have released a new single to Canadian country radio, All For Me (video following the turn).
The band has a monster summer ahead of it, where (more…)
