You can go here http://minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/the_current/playlist/song_detail.php?song_id=201034 to rate and request more of Nicholas on The Current.

Speaking of "Across the Universe", The Minnesota Beatle Project Charity CD has already raised over $40,000 to keep Music & Arts programs alive in Minnesota schools. Big thanks go out to the good folks at Vega Productions for putting this project together and giving Nicholas a opportunity to help the great cause. Many thanks go out to the pool of good folks and organizations who helped with the project along the way as well.

As for the January Rundown of shows, the beginning of the month gives Nicholas a well needed rest and some time to focus on the Studio. The January highlights include a new weekly house gig at the Suburban World Theater. Nicholas and Jason Fladager (Big Wu/God Johnson) will be playing a Sunday Brunch Series together, to a back drop of old-school Cartoons. They will be playing fun covers along with originals.
