Grammy Winner Johnny Nicholas

Johnny Nicholas is a Grammy-winning powerhouse.  A singer/songwriter/musician who has played with Asleep at the Wheel, Big Walter Horton, Muddy Waters, Stephen Bruton, Eric Clapton, Geoff Muldaur and many other legends in the music industry.  

His music gave him a voice when his blues transcended words and he holds that deep-seated love of music in common with the legends he left home to follow—Johnny Shines and Robert Jr. Lockwood—the only two men who ever got close to the King of the Delta Blues, Robert Johnson.
