Danielle Nicole Band

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

Hailing from Kansas City, Missouri, Danielle Nicole has spent her life making music and pleasing fans, domestically and abroad. Her stunning new album, The Love You Bleed on Forty Below Records, comprises twelve heartfelt tracks exploring themes of love, loss and perseverance.

The new album was produced by Tony Braunagel (Taj Mahal, Eric Burdon, Robert Cray) and co-produced by Nicole, with John Porter (B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Bryan Ferry) mixing. The tight-knit quartet on the songs features Danielle on bass guitar and vocals; Brandon Miller (electric, acoustic, pedal steel, mandolin, and 12-string guitar), Damon Parker (keyboards); Go-Go Ray (drums), and Stevie Blacke (violin and cello).

Nicole was initially influenced by her parents. She recalls seeing her father playing blues guitar and her mother singing with the group Little Eva & The Works. With her two brothers, Nick and Kris, she became a member of Trampled Under Foot, which found initial popularity in the Midwest and International recognition throughout the early 2000s. Danielle embarked on her solo career with Wolf Den (2015), which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Blues charts and amassed 12 million Spotify streams. Cry No More (2018) followed, the record was nominated for a Grammy in the Contemporary Blues category and debuted at number one in the Billboard Blues Charts – it also boasts over Spotify streams in excess of 13.8 million.

Nicole has been inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame and has been the recipient of Eight Blues Music Awards. She recently did a duet with Dion on the upcoming song “I Aim To Please.”

There has been no shortage of praise; Guitar World stated, "Danielle Nicole has won respect and admiration throughout the American blues scene for her soulful, inventive playing and tireless work ethic." Blues Music Magazine effused, "Nicole brings it, bakes it, and serves it up blazing on a silver soul-rocking platter." The Kansas City Star declared, "Blues and soul vocalists tend to improve as they age. Bettye LaVette is among the artists who became increasingly believable as she matured. Danielle Nicole appears to be following in her footsteps." And the legendary Koko Taylor gets right to the point: "That girl gets down to the nitty gritty!" -
