Bio: Armed with only an 11-string harp-guitar, a riveting, honest voice, and songs that grab you by the throat, WILLIAM JAMES NICHOLSON has been shocking audiences across the USA with what a one man show can truly be. A modern-day troubadour, well-rooted in the oldest traditions, he is busy creating new forms, all while preserving and respecting the old ways. Coming from Upstate NY, WILLIAM JAMES NICHOLSON has been a lot of things to a lot of people. Beginning in the early 1990's as a "two hand tap-style" guitarist at jazz clubs, cafes and festivals, to the late 1990's exploring altered tunings and odd compositional structures with fingerstyle acoustic guitar. Through the early 2000's with folk and swing bands, to the late 2000's touring the US with a rock and roll band. Today, he is the harp-guitar troubadour, still shocking audiences with what one man and one instrument can do, although the truth is, it is actually his heart that is doing all the work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Selected Discography: 1994 "Look at the Time" - Solo electric guitar (JoBop Records, Inc.) 1999 "May" - Acoustic ensembles (JoBop Records, Inc.) 2009 "Lightning" - Rock and Roll (JoBop Records, Inc.) 2011 "Timekeepers" - Harp guitar songs (JoBop Records, Inc.) 2013 "William James Nicholson" - Harp Guitar Songs (JoBop Records, Inc.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Web: http"//www.williamsongs.com
