Description:
Gillie's welcomes musician Nikki Talley to the stage on Wednesday, April 30, 2014.
Raised in Ruffin, North Carolina and hailing from Asheville, it's only fitting that Nikki's music is as eclectic as the state that boasts the mountains and the sea. Trying to pin down Nikki's style, critics and reviewers alike have compared her to Patty Loveless and Gillian Welch, but to leave the comparisons there would be doing a disservice to her fiery stage performance, hauntingly seductive and raw gritty lyrics, lifted by a voice that harkens back to her Appalachian roots, and shores up on the edges of contemporary country, folk, and old time that has her audiences stomping and clapping for more.
Nikki's latest release "Beautiful Charmer" garnered the #7 spot in WNCW's top 20 regional releases of 2010 and #23 in top 100 releases & features Grammy-winning alt-country icon Jim Lauderdale among other guests.
