Hold on for the ride! In seconds, Nikki Talley can go from a soulful banjo ballad to in-yer-face rock n roll!!! Tho guitar slingin & banjo pickin skills shine, it's her powerful and beautiful voice that can start
ethereal and angelic and end up sending you through a fire storm in hell w/ chills.From Mountain Express
"Local songstress Nikki Talley suffers from a rare condition -- an excess of talent. She's a stunning songwriter, combining haunting, richly symbolic lyrics about passion and love with a mastery of both guitar and piano; her music definitively sets a mood. Imagine a fusion of Tori Amos' passionate lyrical drive and Norah Jones' masterful spirit, plus an innate fearlessness that lets Talley crisscross genres from folk to bluesy rock to metal, and even take a lead role in last summer's Asheville production of the gender-bending "rock opera" Hedwig and the Angry Itch. She's not just good; she's that good."
