The Blues Power of Jared James Nichols

Published: Jan. 8, 2020, 7 a.m.

Jared James Nichols grew up just miles from where blues guitar legend Stevie Ray Vaughan played his final show, and ultimately died in a tragic helicopter crash! So maybe that\u2019s where some of Jared\u2019s love of blues and guitar comes from. But it\u2019s definitely not where he got his left-handed, pick-less playing style! Jared talks about his musical start, the role his mom played in his career, how a chance run-in with Lynyrd Skynyrd gave him his first big break, and why taking a risk on a European Tour changed everything for Jared and his power trio band.
