Biography
Inspired by blues music and vintage hard-rock, Jared James Nichols is a singer, songwriter, and acclaimed lead guitarist who released his full-length debut album, Old Glory & The Wild Revival, in 2015. He was born on March 14, 1989, in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and relocated to Los Angeles in 2010. There, he became a star student at the Musicians Institute, notably winning the school's "Most Outstanding Player Award" for his skill on the electric guitar. Following 2015's Old Glory & The Wild Revival, he embarked upon an annual series of releases whose highlights included the 2016 EP Highwayman, the 2018 album Black Magic, and the 2020 single "Threw Me to The Wolves." He often toured internationally, too, and his penchant for playing Gibson Les Paul guitars onstage -- coupled with a unique fingerstyle approach to his picking patterns -- earned him the honorary title of "global ambassador" from the guitar manufacturer in 2021. Another single, "Skin ân Bone," was released that same summer, followed by the EP Shadow Dancer in September 2021. Two years later, Jared James Nichols released another album, the self-titled Jared James Nichols, which proved to be his commercial breakthrough. "Down the Drain," the record's lead single, climbed its way to Number 37 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs chart, giving Nichols his first Top 40 hit.
