Nick's fan club Kickin' With Nick, headed up by president extraordinaire Carrie, at the 2008 Smooth Music Festival in San Diego. Pictured are the members we were able to round up for a poolside photo op!

January found Nick and the band at the NAMM show for Epiphone Guitars. The guys had a great time playing alongside legendary rockers Heart to a jammed audience of Epiphone VIPs. Thanks as always to Epiphone's Jim, Kent and Cara for their support.

The grand finale to the month saw Nick and the guys in San Diego, CA performing at the Smooth Music Festival and then departing for Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada on board The 2008 Smooth Music Cruise. Serving once again as Jam Session Host in addition to performing his own mainstage show, Nick was joined by cruise host Norman Brown, Boney James, the legendary Larry Carlton and a host of other great artists for great poolside, mainstage and jam shows.

On board the Carnival "Elation", Kickin' With Nick fan club prez Carrie hosted the best members-only party ever. It's a wonderful experience sailing with so many friends and fans on board, and Nick appreciated each and every one of them joining him for another fun cruise. Fan club member Kevin Thomas won the special edition Bettie Grace Miner print of host Norman Brown, a really nice bonus for Kevin! Thanks to Haven Entertainment for a terrific cruise.

With next year's 2009 Smooth Music Cruise moving to the luxury cruise ship, Celebrity Cruise Lines' "Century", and leaving from Miami going to Key West, Nassau and Coco Cay, Haven Entertainment is planning an incredible cruise experience for everyone.
