**Parallel Lines Presents** Samuel Nicholson Support from Quaking Aspens Samuel Nicholson is a cathartic songwriter, an impassioned singer, and a gifted guitarist. With his love of music set alight by listening to Motown records in the car with his mother, corrupted by hard rock records handed down by his father, and finally formed by his own forays into jazz, folk and experimental music of decades past. Nicholson’s last album, Birthday Suit, came after years of searching and longing - serving as a dysfunctional self-portrait and a love letter in equal parts, dancing from electrifying guitar solos to naked vulnerability. Having spent the past two years locked away in the studio, Nicholson returns to the stage for three intimate headline shows, with the release of new music in sight.
