Jared James Nichols is a blues-rock guitarist, singer and songwriter from Waukesha, Wisconsin, now based in Nashville. He plays entirely without a pick - his signature approach on a single-P90 Gibson Les Paul - and has built a decade-long career across three studio albums, millions of streams, and stages shared with Slash, Billy Gibbons and Joe Bonamassa. Gibson named him one of only four Global Brand Ambassadors worldwide, and in 2025 he signed with Frontiers Music Srl ahead of his fourth album.
Nichols announced his fourth studio album arriving June 5, 2026 on Frontiers Music Srl, available for pre-order.
Nichols released the single 'Ghost' - his first new music after signing with Frontiers Music Srl - co-written with Tyler Bryant and produced by Jay Ruston.
Nichols embarked on a European and UK headline tour running from November 5 in Valencia, Spain through December 6 in London.
A 10-date UK tour for November/December 2025 with special guest Afrodiziac was announced, with tickets on sale from July 18.
Nichols released his self-titled third album on Black Hill Records and collaborated with Maggie Rose and Joe Bonamassa on a revised version of 'Threw Me to the Wolves'.
