Nick Tann had an amazing 2014. The full-time singer songwriter, who hails from Eastleigh in Hampshire, recorded and released his fan funded studio album “3 am” to great critical acclaim, played at some of the best festivals and venues in his career. He continues to enjoyed airplay and interviews on BBC 6Music, BBC Introducing The South, BBC London as well as radio stations abroad and in the U.S. and all this as a result from simple hard work and talent.

Likened to a mixture of John Mayer and Counting Crows with generous helpings of John Martyn and Elvis Costello with a Jeff Buckley chaser, Nick is certainly starting to make an impact.

Tom Robinson said of Nick “I love your work , powerful passionate stuff. on his BBC Radio 6 Music show. BBC Introducing The South presenter Melita Dennett wrote in an article about Nick “ Nick takes a well-trodden genre but rips it apart and rearranges its innards to create something altogether different. It's unpredictable, edgy, raw” Nick continues to enjoy repeat plays on BBC radio as well as independent stations and podcasts in the U.K., Europe and the U.S.

Trevor Raggatt Rock and Reel Magazine said “For the last couple of years Nick Tann has been plying his trade on the club and festival circuit. Now, having honed them live, the Hampshire-based singer-songwriter has committed a clutch of his songs to (whatever these days passes for) vinyl. The result is a short but sweet collection of likeable and listenable tunes.”

Nick takes his live performance seriously VERY seriously “It’s the aspect of my job I spend most of my time studying” he said “Not wanting to sound too grandiose but I actually want to change people’s lives, have a real impact.” “He has an honest and genuine approach to his live show” Drew Harris from CW Promotions stated on his website “Audiences love him because he speaks to them not only with his music but with his performance” “I’ve seen tears shed and couples move that little bit closer”

Fellow artist Sue Hart said, “Nick is completely committed to his audience. He wants to take you where he's been, and, believe me, it's a joy to go along for the ride”

In 2014 Nick performed at Pulse, Blissfields, Upton Blues, Ventnor and Haslemere Fringe Festivals, Poyenburg Folk Festival (Germany), Schotten Radio Festival (Germany), Kloften Festival (Denmark), New Forest Fairy Festival, Nibe Festival (Denmark), Skagen Festival (Denmark), River Cottage Spring and Autumn Festival as well as the famous Bedford Live in Balham (London) and a string of other venues all over the south and beyond.

Nick can also be heard playing double bass on folks up and comer Lucy Kitchen’s new album “Awaken” and slide guitar on a new track by rising star Antoine Architeuthis. New York artist Jennie Walker fell in love with and is currently performing Nick’s song “Don’t” on the New York underground circuit.
