“…a refreshingly honest act that moves from R&B to silky soul, with hints of rock, gospel, and swampy blues.”
– Boston.Com
Dwight & Nicole, an American roots duo formed by recording artists Dwight Ritcher and Nicole Nelson, have inspired comparisons to some of the greats — Etta James and John Lee Hooker, the Rolling Stones and the Staple Singers — but it’s their own fresh blend of spirited blues, rock and gospel that leaves a mark with those who hear them. While the industry often begs for artists to fit into a “lane,” Nelson sees their eclectic sound as an honest reflection of who they are. “I don’t like to be categorized…because I’m changing all the time. And in every moment, I’m a little bit different. And as I am feeling things, what I want to express becomes different. And I think our fans appreciate that honesty.”
The duo continues to ride a wave of success followed by their 2014 release, Shine On, which was recorded at Milt Reder’s Rear Window Studio in Boston and heavily funded by their devoted fans via music-centric crowd-sourcing site, PledgeMusic.com. The album was a culmination of an exciting couple of years that saw Nelson appear on NBC’s hit talent show, The Voice; chart a stirring rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” at #24 on iTunes; and win a Boston Music Award for “Female Vocalist of The Year.” The duo’s recent momentum also landed them on Boston Globe’s “25 Most Stylish of the Year” list, found them playing major festivals and performing at storied Fenway Park.
