Upon hearing the unique and refreshing sound of Nicki Bluhm, it becomes
immediately clear why she is in the midst of a breakout year. Nicki has filled a
void in music with her brand of vintage-tinged rocking country soul — music
that’s like an enchanting friend you’ve known for a short while but feels like
you’ve known forever.

In 2011 alone, Nicki has moved with grace and style from the studio to the main stages of
the nation’s most revered music festivals (Outside Lands, High Sierra, Strawberry, Hardly
Strictly Bluegrass), where her strong voice, striking presence and penchant for songcraft
have made an undeniable impression and received rousing reception from audiences of
all ages.

Nicki’s story began at a New Year’s Eve party where she sang an Allman
Brothers song, catching the attention of musician/producer Tim Bluhm (Mother
Hips). With Tim’s encouragement, Nicki began to write her own songs and
perform in public. The two fell in love and married, followed by the recording of Nicki’s
debut album, Toby’s Song (2008), which was heralded as one of Jambase’s top ten
albums of the year.

Nicki’s music took on a life of its own with the formation of a band with childhood
friend and lead guitarist Deren Ney. Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers grew with the
addition of drummer Mike Curry (Jackpot), bassist/vocalist Steve Adams (ALO), and
rhythm guitarist/vocalist Dave Mulligan. The band headed into the studio and emerged
with Nicki’s sophomore album, Driftwood (2011), a collection of songs that evoke
the AM magic of Linda Ronstadt, the honest charm of Johnny and June Cash’s duets,
and the stoney sounds of retro Memphis soul. “Part Karen Carpenter and part Grace
Slick, Bluhm’s voice moves effortlessly between softer, country tinged balladry and
retro ’60s/’70s rock,” No Depression declared.

Since Driftwood’s release, Nicki has performed with her band, as a duo with her
husband, as a vocalist for West Coast supergroup Brokedown in Bakersfield, and as the
special guest of countless musical legends. She has been called on to share the stage with
Chris Robinson, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Steve Kimock,
Jackie Greene, Pegi Young and Josh Ritter; and has performed on “The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno.” Nicki is currently touring and has a new album with Tim called Duets.

There’s no question that Nicki Bluhm is the “It Girl” of San Francisco’s storied music
scene. Luckily for us, the future is looking even brighter for rock’s rising star.
