Nick Wade’s first contact with music was thirty-two years ago, when he took his first lessons from his grandfather Johnny Wade, a professional jazz musician who played with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie or Freddie Slack among others. When he was twenty-two, Nick decided to devote professionally to music. He started to play electric Chicago blues, but it was not until he listened to Robert Johnson that he completely changed his style only to country blues and spiritual music. With strong religious convictions, Nick Wade feels grateful to the good Lord for giving him “a good musical ear and a rhythm in his soul”.

Nick has now become a regular name on blues and folk scene and major festivals. He also plays online musical venues bringing together some of the biggest names of country blues.

All Nick Wade’s cleverness, knowledge, technique and feeling can be found in this new recording, gathering twelve own compositions that communicate the real essence of country blues and old tradition music, he has learned from those masters like Mississippi John Hurt, Reverend Gary Davis or Blind Blake among others, musicians who have undoubtedly been references to him and have been the ones he has inherited the intensity and passion when he develops the songs included in the album as well as when he plays live shows.
