Nick Edelstein’s Summary

I have performed in many different ensembles: symphony orchestras, bands (Rock, Country, Progressive, and R&B bands), solo Jazz piano concerts, and everything in-between - even recorded lead guitar on two Rap albums. I've toured North and Southeast U.S. and entertained audiences from 10 to +100,000. I released two full-length albums: a studio CD-format in 2006 and a DPD-format (digital) in 2007. I'm endorsed by Holland Guitars and KOA, licensed via BMI, published by Sibelius Music. Most of my songs are available on iTunes, Amazon, and about 40 other download sites. ~NE

August 2004 — Present (5 years 4 months)

Since beginning this project in 2004, I have secured 2 corporate endorsements and showcased many festivals - both national and regional. My stated genre is "Blues-Rock" and it refers to Blues-influenced Rock, Roots-Rock and Americana music.
For 4 years I booked, marketed and promoted all concerts. I also released two full-length records. In August 2008, all booking duties were handed over to Lesley Daunt of Unity Artist Management.
All songs are written and arranged by me, and licensed via BMI and Sibelius Music. ~Nick Edelstein

July 2004 — Present (5 years 5 months)

This began as a means to producing my first solo album. We released the studio LP "Ripple" in 2006 on CD format. A second album followed - "Live In 2007" - a compilation of live audio taken from our '07 Summer tour. Released in DPD format (online-only) on DiscRevolt.com/nick, we got an extremely positive review from Southeast Performer Magazine (May '07 issue).
Future ambitions include releasing more Nick Edelstein albums, providing tour support for Nick Edelstein Band, and signing additional artists.
