Darrell Nulisch (born September 14, 1952, Dallas, Texas) is an American blues singer and harmonica player. A two-time Grammy Award Nominee, Darrell was a key member of The James Cotton Band, founding member of Anson Funderburgh and the Rockets and member of Ronnie Earl and The Broadcasters. Nulisch's repertoire incorporates soul combined with R&B and Chicago blues, redesigned to complement his distinctive vocals.
Nulisch was raised listening to Texas radio, soaking in the sounds of soul, blues and R&B. In 1978 he was a founding member of Anson Funderburgh's Rockets and sang with them until 1985. He was then part of Mike Morgan's Crawl, before moving to Massachusetts and joining up with Ronnie Earl's Broadcasters in 1988. He began his solo career late in 1990, relocating to Boston.
James Cotton then asked him to sing with Cotton's band on tour, after Cotton had lost his own voice. Nulisch recorded and toured with James Cotton for 10 years and sang on James Cotton’s critically acclaimed and Grammy Award Winning release “Cotton Mouth Man”.
Darrell Nulisch, renowned for his captivating "blue-eyed" soul and blues vocals, takes center stage, showcasing his powerful voice and exceptional harmonica skills rooted in the heart of Texas. Supported by a stellar, world class lineup featuring guitarist Chris Vitarello (Vanessa Collier, Jimmy Mcgriff, Bruce Katz), organist Dave Limina (B.B. King, Chuck Berry, Ronnie Earl), drummer Lorne Entress (Mary Chapin Carpenter, Ronnie Earl, Big Al Anderson), and bassist Mike Law (Kim Wilson, Lurrie Bell, Jerry Portnoy), this quintet promises an unparalleled evening of pure blues and soul.
