Artist Showcase: Nikki Back
I began working with Nikki in December of 2022. She is a talented singer/songwriter who pulls fiercely on her roots in country, folk, gospel, and rock.
February 12, 2023, she came to my home, armed with a few guitars and some songs ready to go. I turned my living room into a live room and we tracked two original songs. Dreamin’ and Runaway. I had my good friend over to lay down some drums for these. We tracked the core of the songs live off the floor, later adding some character tracks.
April 15, we tracked another original. Again live off the floor, but this time in a very special setting. We packed up everything and setup inside of a church that her family attends. Spending the day working up the song Take Me Back, featuring several guest musicians along the way.
As the year continues to move, so does Nikki’s creative force. August 19, we once again turned my living room into a live room and invited a cast of musicians over to track two more songs. We’re still in the creative stages of those though.
If you want to check out Nikki’s work, she has a YouTube page. I’ll throw the links to the songs we’ve worked on together in the comments. Also she will be performing live in October. I’ll post a link to that event as well.
Stay tuned for more from this upcoming artist.
