Nick, at 18, displays his musical versatility on banjo, fiddle, and vocals. You'll occasionally also catch him on mandolin and guitar, but his first love is definitely banjo.

He's been playing out since age 13 and has been in a couple other local bands. In addition to Blue Lightning you can also see him with the Delaney Brothers Bluegrass. (www.delaneybrothers.com)

Added to his musical ability, is Nick's keen sense of humor, which makes him adept at keeping the audience (and other band members) well entertained.
