Nicholas Mrozinski: News

Hope everyone is doing awesome, loving life, and gearing up for old lady winter. Opening for Trevor Hall, and playing the Fitzgerald Theatre in November was a blast and this December also brings some fun shows that we are excited about.

Before we get to the show rundown, be sure to check out the Minnesota Beatle Project's Volume III release to help MN schools keep their music programs thriving. Nicholas had the honor to play with Charlie Parr for their rendition of "Rocky Raccoon" for this installment in the series. See more info and a complete track listing here... http://bit.ly/sLM8ik The album is released December 6th.

As for the shows...Nicholas & Co. will run through Iowa and North Dakota early in the month before making their way back for the always jammed packed "Dreaming of a White Iron Christmas" show at the Cabooze on December 16th.

Of course Sunday nights at Palmer's on the West Bank, and Wednesday nights at The Happy Gnome in St. Paul are still going strong for the weekly house gigs. We'll also make a stop at Hell's Kitchen, Kathy's in Rochester, and back to the Cabooze with Hyentyte and Shoeless Revolution, all before the big New Years Eve show at Ed's No Name Bar in Winona.
