About Nick Curran

Nick Curran was an American blues/rock and roll singer and guitarist. He has been likened to T-Bone Walker, Little Richard, The Sonics, Doug Sahm, Misfits Eddie Cochran. In 1999, the Texas Jamboree label issued Curran's debut solo recording, Fixin' Your Head. To support the recording he formed the band, Nick Curran & the Nitelifes. Curran toured next with Texas rockabilly doyenne Kim Lenz, moving to Dallas to join her backup band the Jaguars, and performing on Lenz's recording, The One And Only. As he would do on all future CDs, Curran used vintage recording equipment to achieve the feel and sound of old 45s and 78s, and the LPs of the 1950s.
