OnStage! Series Presents Dwight and Nicole

An American roots band formed by recording artists Dwight Ritcher and Nicole Nelson. An inspiring mashup of folk, blues, pop, jazz, gospel and reggae. Their recent album, Shine On, is a culmination of an exciting couple of years that saw Nelson appear on NBC's hit talent show, The Voice; chart a stirring rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" at #24 on iTunes; and win a Boston Music Award for "Female Vocalist of The Year." The duo's recent momentum also landed them on Boston Globe's "25 Most Stylish of the Year" list, found them playing major festivals and performing at storied Fenway Park.

Dwight & Nicole's performances have inspired comparisons to some of the greats Etta James and John Lee Hooker, the Rolling Stones and the Staple Singers but it's their fresh blend of spirited blues, rock and gospel that is propelling them to make their own mark on the music world. They have performed at countless world class venues and festivals including Montreal Jazz Festival, Life Is Good Festival, Symphony Hall, Fenway Park, Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble, and The Blue Note in NYC, while sharing the stage with iconic artists such as BB King, Buddy Guy, Dave Brubeck, Dr. Maya Angelou, Mavis Staples, Ray Lamontagne, Trombone Shorty, Levon Helm, Norah Jones, Dr. John, Wynton Marsalis, The Avett Brothers, Chuck Berry, Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Irma Thomas.
