‘Love and Blood’ album follows Shane’s 2015’s ARIA Award winning masterpiece ‘Hell Breaks Loose’. The Central Coast-based singer has kept the winning formula from that album for ‘Love and Blood’, opting once again to work with his good mate, producer Matt Fell, at his Sydney studio Love Hz and assembling a familiar cast of musicians. Included on the album is drummer Josh Schuberth and multi instrumentalist Glen Hannah, as well as new face horn-player supreme James Greening who adds his delicious slab of New Orleans blues with a swagger to several tracks.
Leading their vocals on the album and Josh Pyke, Andrew Swift, Fanny Lumsden and Imogen Clark plus the king of Americana music, Nashville legend Buddy Miller. Of course in a recording career spanning 17 years Nicholson has grown to be something of a master too. Since making his debut with Brisbane band Pretty Violent Stain in 2000. Nicholson’s career has gone from strength to strength, with numerous ARIAs and Golden Guitars collected along the way for albums such as ‘Familiar Ghosts’ (2008), ‘Bad Machines’ (2011) and ‘Hell Breaks Loose’, as well as for ‘Rattlin’ Bones’ (2008) and ‘Wreck & Ruin’ (2012) the two much-lauded collaborations with Kasey Chambers. Now he’s looking forward to taking these songs and the many others from his distinguished back catalogue on the road in August. Shane joins us here on the 28th of July check out his website for details on his upcoming tour!
