Joe Nichols biography

Hailing from Rogers, Arkansas, US, Joe Nichols (born November 26th, 1976) is an American country music artist playing in a neo-traditional style with a discerning baritone reminiscent of Don Williams.

Having grown up watching his father play bass in a local country band, Nichols was always around country music. After doing odd-jobs and working as a mechanic, Nichols met producer Randy Edwards, who encouraged Nichols to develop his songwriting skills.

At 19, he had signed with Intersound Records, releasing his self-titled first album in 1996. The album did not sell particularly well and Nichols was dropped from the label, moving to Giant Records before again leaving their roster. However, Nichols was soon to achieve better results, after singing to Universal South Records (Show Dog- Universal Music) in 1999.

In 2002, his second album, "Man With Memory" finally brought Nichols some success, with his lead single "The Impossible" reaching number three on the Billboard Hot County Songs Chart, being declared the tenth most-played country song of 2003 and certified Platinum. This release earned Nichols several awards, including three Grammy Award nominations and an award for Top new Male Vocalist from the Academy of Country Music. The second single, "Brokenheartsville," brought Nichols his first number one on the Billboard country charts, with two further singles entering the top 20.

Nichols proceeded to build on his success with his next three albums "Revelation" (2004), "III" (2005) and "Real Things" (2007), with hit singles "Tequila avers Her Clothes Fall Off," "What's a Guy Gotta Do" and "It Ain't No Crime," all breaking into the top 20 of the country charts.

Nichols' third number one single was "Gimme That Girl," released in 2010 on the album, "Old Things New." WIth his 2012 album, "Crickets," a more pop-orientated, upbeat affair, Nichols was again on top form, achieving two number one singles from the album."Sunny and 75" and "Yeah" both topped the country charts.

Live reviews

Joe Nichols is not a show to be missed! Between his great energy and high quality of his many country singles, the show offers a great experience for any country fan.
Nichols has been writing and playing country for almost two decades, but not all of his fans know that his success was harder earned than most. His first album was not very successful and after jumping around labels for several years he finally had a successful album with a top 40 single. After that, he has been a Billboard top country single machine, but it is apparent he has an appreciation for being able to do what he loves on stage. He spent the show laughing with the audience and with his band; the guy even sang his own country rendition of “I Like Big Butts and I Cannot Lie” – the audience loved it! Nichols’ maintained some musical integrity after trying his hand in Sir Mix-a-Lot’s old single, playing his many hits (all of which the audience sang along to) in a really well tailored way. Some artists prefer to just go up and make some noise and see what happens, but Joe Nichols’ and his band take a lot of care in the way the sound – keeping the quality just as high as in his studio albums.
At a Joe Nichols concert you are guaranteed to hear some great country music played extremely well. And you’re guaranteed to have a lot of fun, as I’m sure there wasn’t a single face at the show without a smile on their face and a beer in their hand.
