Been a whirlwind since the beginning of the year with my travels taking me around the States (Atlanta, Houston, Austin, Seattle and Minneapolis) and abroad (Mexico, London and France).

I haven't been so good at keeping up with my website, but please check on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/nijaro.muzic and my Instagram page: http://instagram.com/nickrolfemusic for updates as well.

Here are some pics from my recent travels/events:



This first pic is from a photo shoot for the new Tomas Doncker "Howlin' Wolf" project. We'll be at the Blue Note, NYC on July 23rd:

This pic is from a concert on May 21st in Les Sables d'Olonne in Southern France with fabulous French singers Alice y Cecile:

This is from a tour in Mexico w/Maria de Barros in early May; this pic is in Aguascalientes and includes my good friend Zerui DePina:

Also in Mexico; this is Mexico City:

With the Gene Lake Project at Shapeshifter Lab, with David Gilmore, Steve Jenkins, Lake and myself [MAKE SURE AND PAUSE THE MUSIC PLAYER IN LOWER LEFT CORNER OF THIS PAGE SO YOU CAN HEAR/WATCH EMBEDDED VIDS]:

Just got back from a great tour of Europe with the Gene Lake Project (Gene Lake on drums, myself on keys, David Gilmore on guitar and ReggieWashington on bass) - incredible music and a great group of cats!

Rockin' at Green Space in NYC w/Mama Funk to open up the Battle of the Burroughs!

Happy Holidays all!! I got some nice airtime on CNN with one of the many amazing artists I get to work with; my man Tomas Doncker. Tomas is one of the hardest working cats I know, and he more than deserves this great opportunity to share his vision, thoughts and music on CNN to day, check it out, there's great footage of the band:

Here's a video I was in this summer....gettin' my "Lead Male Love Interest" on...LOL. Check it out (make sure and turn off the music player in the lower left-hand corner of this website):

"Hold Me Sweetly", by Monet





As the year winds down, so does my travel schedule. Through the remainder of 2012 into the beginning of 2013 I will be working on producing Asa Lovechild's next project (stay tuned, should be a hot one!), as well as playing on 2 other projects that you will DEF need to pay attention to. I'll divulge all the info when the time is right. Let me just say: There are some TALENTED artists that I'm working with (producing/playing keys for) that are going to be making their voices heard!

That's all for now; the Holidays are upon us - ENJOY and be SAFE.

One Love.

Hope everyone's summer is going well and you're all staying COOOOL!! Busy summer for me: I've been playing festivals in PA, DE, CT, NJ, NY and am currently on a North East US tour with the great Nona Hendryx!! Her new album "Mutatis Mutandis" just dropped and a tour to a theater near you is imminent! Make sure and check out the events page for locations near you. For all of my NYC/NJ/CT family, I'll be performing throughout NYC for Summerstage 2012 in July and August with Tomas Donker's band, so please come say hello!

Also, make sure and keep your eyes peeled for the new video by my girl Monet Cherise, "Hold Me Sweetly" -  I'm appearing as her leading man and she's got me running around the beach half-naked try'na look all GQ, LOL!!

To all my fans in Europe, I'll be a guest performer/clinician with several other esteemed colleagues from around the globe for the "All-Star Master Class Vol. 4" taking place at Music Academy 2000 in Bologna, Italy; Nov. 12th - 16th.

Lots of big things coming up for the Fall, so stay tuned, updates to follow!
