Born and raised outside of Philadelphia, NICKY EGAN continues to make a steady mark in the music scene, carving out a unique journey and solidifying herself as a multi-talented creative and multi-instrumentalist. In between steadily touring as a hired gun for psych-soul LA staple, Chicano Batman, Nicky Egan has been stealthily plugging away with her New York-based producer and Dap-Kings guitarist Joe Crispiano to complete her debut album out on Colemine Records, “This Life”.
Driven by honest confessional songwriting and influenced by your favorite classic soul sounds, the record features a who’s who of NY’s most sought after players, receiving 4 star reviews from acclaimed music magazines like Mojo, Echoes, Shindig and Soul Collector and garnering spots on the playlists of top tastemakers at KCRW, BBC6 and JazzFM. ‘This Life’ was also included in Echoes Magazine’s list of ‘Best Soul So Far’.
“This Life is a bright, soulful and engaging record that showcases the varied skills of multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Nicky Egan. Her passion and especially her voice is a beguiling mixture of Amy Winehouse and Elizabeth Fraser.” – Daryl Easlea, MOJO mag
“This Life is one of those albums whose emotional core is perfectly encapsulated in its cover art – a portrait of an artist taking emotional stock. Egan’s written an assured collection of songs with honest, heart-on-sleeve lyrics and sung them beautifully. It’s a combination that makes Egan a solo artist to watch. – Duncan Fletcher, Shindig mag
