That's really a shame. Only got to see Nick once, with the T-Birds, but he was an incredibly talented musician. RIP :-(

That is sad sad news, RIP Nick you will be missed.

A very sad day. Nick was a super guy who I was privileged to call a friend, and one of the greatest talents of our time (or any), no exaggeration. You name it, Nick had it in spades. I always thought he would have been a huge star if he ever got the chance to appear on national TV in the right slot. May he keep rockin' forever.

What an amazing and uncommon talent he was. May his soul rest in peace.

Oh man, that is really bad news. One of the great young bluesmen. He will be missed, along with his punk rock look.

 

[John H]

Oh, no! RIP, Nick.

Big loss. His solo album "Player" is one of my favorites. RIP Nick.

Nick was a great guy and greater player. He talent was deep and wide. Never to forget.

Damn. RIP Nick.

I met Nick here in Corvallis a number of years ago during a very poorly attended gig. His playing was fantastic, his tone was huge and he put on a great show for the few in attendance. He gave me a band T shirt afterwards as we sat and talked music and gear for a while.

This is such terrible news. He was a genuine talent and he clearly loved to play.

I'm going to spin "Doctor Velvet" tonight.

RIP Nick.

Way too soon. RIP.

 

[GOLDENSTRAT]

Very sad. He had tons of talent and his music touched so many.

 

[bluesjuke]

Rest Easy Nick.

My condolences to his loved ones and many friends.

Very very sad to hear that one. What a talent, what a voice. He sat in on a gig I was in L.A. Years ago and swung like hell.
That is an awful form of cancer and took my friend & great guitar player Dave Bernstein as well. R.I.P. Nick, we will remember you.

 

[jetlag]

Awful awful news and just so sad he had to leave us this young. My condolences to his family. So sad.

That is really terrible news. Hearing his stuff really inspired me and a whole bunch of players I know. He is one of my favourite modern players and he was a great vocalist as well - I loved his Little Richard covers.

RIP

This is sad news. RIP Nick.
