"Vigarino radiates an unpredictable fervor with slashing slide guitar, powerful vocals, funky licks, modern lyrics, and his homemade 'slop-jar Delta funk' blues. He consistently captures and then rivets listeners with precise, passionate performances" - Jet City Blues
“You shouldn’t miss this experience. It’s cut and dried…this guy kicks ass.” – Musician Magazine
If notes were bullets Nick Vigarino would be a gunslinger straight from the streets of the Mean Town Blues.
From his humble beginnings in Ohio to his waterfront home in the Pacific Northwest, Vigarino is an accomplished songwriter as well as a commanding performer. With that unmistakable baritone voice and his slide making those six strings sing, Nick Vigarino will make you dance and smile and forget about those blues.
Nick has released three recordings of original material (two on Merrimack records), is found on 12 cd’s of other artists, 8 compilations, and one film soundtrack. He has performed in 11 countries, on 7 European tours, and has been nominated for 26 Blues Awards (winning 14, including Best Slide Guitar 2006, Best Acoustic Guitar, Performer of the Year, Best Songwriter, and Hall of Fame - Washington Blues Society).
"He's original, he's unpretentious, he ain't no poseur or imitator and he's not afraid to sing his mind with 'politically incorrect' lyrics." - Real Blues Magazine
