Nick Vigarino's mastery of guitar, dobro, harmonica and vocals keeps him in demand as both a solo performer and an accompanist.

He accompanied Long John Baldry with the "Flying Blues Circus" tour, which led to an enthusiastic follow-up tour with acclaimed national recording artist Kathi McDonald.

Vigarino began his career playing bars and roadhouses in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Impressed with the Northwest's clean air and unspoiled mountain vistas, Nick drifted to Seattle where he quickly won respect for his refreshingly original songs.
Vigarino has released three recordings of original material, several collaborations, has performed in 11 countries in 7 different European tours, and has garnered numerous music awards.

An incendiary slide guitar style, Nick holds audiences enthralled. He is winner of numerous Washington Blues Society awards including 2008 Best Acoustic Blues Guitar and 2007 Best Slide Guitar.

"He's been compared to Ry Cooder and Leo Kottke...his style is a fusion of the Chicago and the Delta blues.... hip-hopped up with an amplified acoustic bottleneck, wailing against a VERY funky bump-and-grind rhythm section. The sum of the whole is nothing less than marvelous. A must hear." - Victory Music Review

"That slide is naaasty!!" - Bo Diddley

"You shouldn't miss this experience. It's cut and dried . . . this guy kicks ass." - Musician Magazine
