Jeb Loy Nichols

Jeb Loy Nichols is hardly a beginner to this recording game, with over a dozen soul, country, and modern r&b influenced albums in his catalogue. Still, he might have slipped below many people's radars and now's a good time as any to get familiar. This Wyoming-born artist, currently living in some desolate part of Wales, has all the underplayed charisma you need for your turntable. Jeb was raised on bluegrass and country & western, and in his teens, he discovered southern soul. Then it was time for him to take a trip through New York's bustling hip hop scene, immerse into London's reggae and dancehall, and finally with all that rhythm and soul in his tool kit, head for the Welsh countryside.  His work with Timmion's Cold Diamond & Mink encapsulates all this expressive depth into an irresistible stew. But better hear it from Jeb himself: “It’s all roots music. Three chords and a good story. Don’t overthink it. Just get in the groove and let it happen.”
