Jared James Nichols

About

Born March 14, 1989, Jared James Nichols is an American blues-rock guitarist and singer from East Troy, Wisconsin. He is best known for his high-energy "pick-less" electric guitar playing technique, a distinctive approach that sets him apart in the music world. Nichols is rarely seen performing without one of his signature guitars: either his single-pickup Epiphone Les Paul Custom P90 nicknamed Old Glory or his vintage original 1953 Gibson Les Paul nicknamed Ole Red. He fronts a power trio under his own name, with a musical style rooted in the early 1970s hard-rock sound of influential bands like Cream and Mountain. Currently, Nichols resides in Nashville, Tennessee.
