  • Spring is early this year, and Nick's tour schedule has him kickin' off the season at Berks Jazz Festival with three appearances! For anyone who has been to Berks, you know what an incredible event it is. If you haven't, you should definitely look into it. It's a destination event with people attending from all over the U.S., Canada and Europe. See below for more details on what Nick will be doing at Berks and elsewhere this spring!

    Nick's new single "If You Ask Me" is already top 10 on several jazz stations...if your station isn't playing it yet you're probably still hearing "Always Thinking of You", so ask them for the new single!!!

    For The Cure

    Nick takes a personal interest in finding a cure for breast cancer, a disease which has affected family and friends...and thus him. The Susan G. Komen Foundation is a wonderful resource, as is the American Cancer Society and numerous others. Whichever you choose, defeating this treatable and beatable disease is a goal he holds dear, and hopes you do, as well.
