Nicola rocks.

I should know; I’ve had her perform live for my radio program. I sat there riveted.

She isn't just smart, talented, and sexy. Nicola also has a powerful voice, is a quality lyricist and guitarist and is fronted by a tremendous band that does her fiery music justice.

Her every note oozes passion; it seems criminal that she isn’t a major star.

Her latest release, Don’t Take It Personally, is an impressive showcase for this multi-talented performer. There’s not a clinker on the eleven cut CD. And in an industry where performers over the age of twenty-five are often shunned, I only hope the general public will somehow discover her and give Don’t Take It Personally the support it so deserves. Nicola will be performing on November 17th at The Bowery Poetry Club.
