Danielle Nicole Band

In the organizer's words:

"That girl gets down to the nitty gritty." Koko Taylor

Danielle Nicole, singer, bassist and songwriter from Kansas City, Missouri, has spent her life making music and inspiring fans here and abroad. Nicole was initially influenced by her parents, who played in bands and were active in the Kansas City music scene. She remembers her father playing blues guitar and her mother singing with the group Little Eva and The Works, and that was the catalyst. Together with her two brothers Nick and Kris, she formed the "heavy blues" band Trampled Under Foot, which first became popular in the Midwest and then made a splash worldwide for over 10 years.

There is no shortage of praise: Guitar World wrote: "Danielle Nicole has earned the respect and admiration of the entire American blues scene with her soulful, inventive playing and tireless work ethic." Blues Music Magazine raved, "Nicole brings it, bakes it and serves it blazing hot on a silver platter of soul rock." The Kansas City Star explained, "Blues and soul singers often get better with age. Bettye LaVette is one of those artists who became more credible as she matured. Danielle Nicole seems to be following in her footsteps."

Danielle began her solo career with Wolf Den (2015), which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Blues Charts and achieved 7.5 million streams on Spotify. This was followed by Cry No More (2018), which was nominated for a Grammy in the Contemporary Blues category and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Blues Charts - it also has over 10 million streams on Spotify. The Love You Bleed (2024) has achieved over 1.2 million streams in less than a year since its release on Forty Below Records. With eight Blues Music Awards for Bassist and Contemporary Artist of the Year in her career, Danielle Nicole is just getting warmed up.
