Earnest lyrics backed by a swinging accompaniment explore a robust tale of Nicki Needham’s personal history and influences. Her style reflects a wide imprint of southern Americana passed down from both sides of the family tree.

As we pass through this existence, nothing becomes more valuable than the ability to re-build from the wreckage. To not take the pitfalls as absolutes, but an opportunity to pivot. At its root that is what Nicki Needham’s music is meant to remind us.

However, the courage to cultivate meaning out of a chaos goes much deeper than musical tradition can handle. It takes a bold choice, every day, to be vulnerable; to let open wounds glisten in the sunlight. Somewhere, someone needs the reminder that their scars are not a burden, but a badge to symbolize that they made it this far.

Her most recent release, Contagious, is a poetic and vulnerable account of her own struggles with inner demons and toxic relationships. Her style explores intimate themes backed by powerful, swinging accompaniment. With diligence, Needham plans to release a string of three singles beginning in the fall of 2024.
