Los Angeles, CA – Jared James Nichols, who was recently named the #1 “young gun making the Gibson Les Paul cool again” by Guitar World has announced his new spring tour in support of his self-titled release Jared James Nichols via Black Hill Records.

The album, produced engineered and mixed by Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Slash, Rival Sons), marks the third full-length offering from the Nashville-based multi-talent and the truest representation of his authentic rock and blues-inspired sound, as evidenced by the recent singles “Hard Wired” and “Down The Drain.” “Down the Drain” is currently top 40 and rising at Active Rock radio, and in other news, Jared’s signature guitar pickup the “JJN Silencer P90” by Seymour Duncan will be released in August 0f 2023.

Jared James Nichols, was recorded live in the studio at Blackbird Studios with nothing more than a Gibson Les Paul slung over his shoulder, a warm amp turned all the way up, and a hot microphone on and ready, Jared James Nichols churns out the kind of rock that rips, roars, and rolls without filter or apology. Nichols, who stands at a staggering 6 foot 5 inches tall, delivers a one-two punch of gritty vocals straight from the gut and incendiary fret fireworks.

The noted guitarist will begin the tour with Tuk Smith & The Restless Hearts on April 19th in Lexington Kentucky and will continue on throughout May, ending the U.S. leg of his tour in Los Angeles on May 28^th before heading to Europe where he will open for The Winery Dogs in June.

Nichols will appear at Nitro Bar, West Reading on April 22.

“The one aspect that really excites me about music is live performance. I live to be in the moment on stage, playing music and connecting with the listener,” shares Nichols. “When it was time to make my latest record, that was the biggest goal for me. I wanted to BE the music, take the listener on a sonic journey, and ultimately put my stamp as an artist to record. I cannot wait to tour this album, what you hear on record is exactly what you’ll get in the flesh. These songs were made to be played live and played loud!”
