- Bio:
- San Francisco singer-songwriter Nicki Bluhm is as tough to pigeonhole as the eclectic city she hails from. Just as the urban bustle of the Mission district quickly gives way to the solitude of Ocean Beach, Nicki's songs effortlessly wander through eclectic styles to create a sonic landscape that is all her own.
A Bay Area native, Nicki didn't take a typical path into music. She realized early on she had a voice, but was in no hurry to use it. After moving to San Diego she bought a guitar and began trying her songs out at open mic's until she was ready to take her act up north. Since moving to San Francisco, Nicki has become a familiar face in the city's thriving music scene. With her acoustic guitar and electric guitarist Deren Ney she earned a reputation as one of the Bay Area's fastest rising stars. She has spent the last two years taking her tunes through several of the city's top venues, earning a coveted spot in the Noise Pop festival, opening for national artists like Josh Ritter, touring through California, and recently sitting in with the Grateful Dead's Phil Lesh during Americana phenom (and member of Nicki's backing band) Jackie Greene's recent show at The Fillmore.
Greene in fact plays several instruments on Nicki's new record, Toby's Song, along with some of the finest musicians in the Bay Area, including Nicki's husband Tim Bluhm of the Mother Hips (who produced the album at Mission Bells Studio), ALO's Steve Adams and Mother Hips/Persephone's Bees drummer John Hofer. A genre-wandering mix of 70's pop, back-porch bluegrass, plaintive coastal ballads and ragged, driving rock songs, Toby's Song is at once a throwback and utterly fresh. Nicki's voice is in the tradition of classic female singers like Bonnie Raitt and Joni Mitchell, yet she has a character and attitude all her own. Her music recalls bands as diverse as Bill Withers, the Beach Boys, The Band and Taj Mahal. Nicki currently resides by the beach in San Francisco with her husband and two cats.
