"Sting had a conversation with Van Morrison about Jimi Page's 12-string guitar playing.
They wondered what would happen if they all birthed a child, force fed it Jaco Pastorius and gave him a four octave vocal range."
Nick Tann is a charismatic and experienced singersongwriter and highly accomplished guitarist, specialising in the 12-string guitar but also a talented strummer of all things strung. His distinctive and passionate vocals and beautiful melodies will stay with you. His style could be described as blues with soul, but he likes to skip across musical genres to produce his own original sound.
An integral part of Southampton's music scene he can be found playing most weeks as well as appearing regularly on BBC and local radio.
He also produces a highly popular weekly Podcast: 'Is This Thing On?', showcasing fantastic independent music from all over the world.
Nick is also the originator of Pure Acoustica, an organisation that champions the playing of live music without the use of microphones, P.A.s and amplifiers.
