Nic Clark is an emotional and captivating new voice in blues. The young folk and blues artist picked up the harmonica at age 11 after finding an instructional blues harmonica book in a bookstore. He found joy in musicians such as Taj Mahal, Curtis Mayfield and Pops Staples, who wrote songs that just seemed to unwind with layers of emotions. Nic Clark’s songs are like that — simple words to tell complicated emotions and stories. Listening to him is like getting a warm hug from an old friend, who reminds you that you are not alone.

Nic Clark, a singer/songwriter from Denver, CO, first gained recognition as a harmonica player while in his early teens, performing at various music venues and festivals as a multi-instrumentalist across the country. A highlight of that time was when he was asked to perform with the band Big Head Todd & The Monsters at Colorado’s iconic amphitheater Red Rocks, an experience Nic calls “life-changing.” In addition to his mastery of the harmonica, Nic has also developed a unique voice as a guitarist and singer. Nic’s first full-length record on Little Village Love Your Life: Songs For The Whole Family is a children’s music album that came from his experience as an uncle, as well as his childhood memories. His upcoming sophomore Little Village album, Everybody’s Buddy is a blues record made up of songs for his friends. Nic’s approach to music is to keep things simple, honest, and optimistic.

Nic has been fortunate enough to share the stage with many great roots musicians including John Nemeth, Jason Ricci, Lonnie Brooks, Billy Branch, and Rick Estrin & The Nightcats. In 2010, he became one of the youngest musicians ever to be endorsed by Hohner Harmonicas.  Some of Nic’s accomplishments include “Favorite Harmonica” at the Colorado Blues Society Member’s Choice Awards (2017, 2015, and 2014), and being a finalist at The International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN (2012, 2014).
