More about nicky

Nicky Diamonds is an Afro-Indigenous Country-Roots/Blues Musician from San Antone, TX currently stationed in Nashville, TN. Pulling inspiration from old hymn books and family history, he's recounting the stories of his ancestors through his unique songwriting style. By keeping the roots of country and blues alive he puts a captivating twist to the tales and tunes of our people.

Nicky spends most of his time touring the country with his 95 year old Dobro and occasionally with his band 'The Deepcuts'. His new delta blues album, recorded at Willie Nelson's studio in Spicewood, Texas, is set to release in Spring 2025. If you're lucky enough you'll catch Nicky at a Honky Tonk or Juke Joint close to home. His live show is a sight to see and you'll leave with a groove stuck in your bones.
