BIO

Nick Nave is a songwriter and artist creating "Laidback Coastal Rock & Country" songs that meet right in the middle of coastal artists like Jimmy Buffett and Kenny Chesney and classic pop/rock artists like Fleetwood Mac and Eagles.  

Originally from Wichita, KS, Nick moved to Lawrence, KS in 1992 and formed the classic college folk-rock band Huckleberry.  Writing songs, recording albums and touring Kansas, Texas, the Midwest and the Southeast led to Nick's next stop in the late-90s power-pop band The Regulars. Catching radio airplay and interest from Los Angeles-based record labels, Nick continued to write and perform his handcrafted melodic gems for happy audiences.

In 2003 Nick formed the roots rock band Red Guitar and released two albums of earthy, heartfelt music that connected strongly with fans and venues in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota and throughout the USA Midwest.

Nick is now currently performing as a solo artist and in an acoustic duo with his wife Julie Nave. Nick and Julie seamlessly blend acoustic versions of classic songs from throughout the history of rock and country with original songs in a laidback coastal blend that is perfect for the lake, the beach, and beautiful nights around a firepit with good friends and family.

Julie Nave is a songwriter and artist with several published contemporary Christian worship songs and a Nashville-based songwriting pedigree, having spent time writing with Dove Award-winning songwriters. 

Born in Chico, CA and raised in Lawrence, KS and the Bay Area in California, Julie began her career writing and performing folk-pop songs in college.  Julie has since been regularly involved in worship leading, songwriting, Nashville recording projects, and advertising jingles for international clients. 

Julie is now currently performing as a solo acoustic artist and in a duo with her husband Nick Nave.
