Nick Bosse is a New England-based, Nashville recording artist and songwriter whose distinctly authentic take on country music defiantly rejects the generic status quo of the genre pushed by the corporate music industry. With a unique sonic identity that builds on the groundwork laid by country icons with a modern approach, Nick is known for his ability to immerse his diverse and growing fanbase into a bygone world. Now, with a host of achievements under his belt, including hitting 2m streams on his single What Happened To Country, putting out his first Nashville album and winning a New England Music Award for Best Vocalist, Nick is traveling the Northeast to show that country music is not a "southern-only" genre of music, it is a state of mind that many share world-wide.
Named a top 10 emerging artist and songwriter by Tractor Supply and Grammy-winning and multi-ACM winning country artist, Lainey Wilson, New Hampshire native April is a vocal force in the Northeast. April was recently named for two years running, the 2022 & 2023 Country Act of the Year by the New England Music Awards and continues to be sought-after artist who pulls in hearts and ears with every performance. Commonly referred to as a "blend of Ashley McBryde with the story telling of Lori McKenna", April finds inspiration in the every day to use as subjects for her music.
April's passion and love for country music started at just the small age of five. Growing up in church singing with the children's choir, "Key of G", she quickly picked up a sense of music, and it being where her heart felt the most comfortable. Through grade school, April played in concert band and honors jazz band, excelling at flute, alto saxophone and guitar. Her love for energetic, spirited country music has always been heavily influenced by some of her favorite artists including Terri Clark, Wynonna Judd, Ashley McBryde, Lainey Wilson and many more. She has supported artists like Kip Moore, Rodney Atkins, Scotty McCreery, Lonestar, Chase and more, while making appearances at shows for artists like Darius Rucker, Sugarland, Old Dominion and Lainey Wilson.
April is a New Hampshire native, residing in Swanzey, NH on her family farm (Highland Farm) with her husband Mike and daughter Maddison. She has been writing songs with hit writers Marty Dodson, Blue Foley, Rob Snyder, Trick Savage and more in preparation for her next album which is set to release in 2024. Her debut album, "The Long Haul" was released in November 2021 and reached #16 on the iTunes Country Album charts and was produced by Nashville Grammy Nominated Producer, Colt Capperrune.
