Danielle Nicole with Jamiah Rogers – live at City Winery Chicago – Wednesday, October 23, 2024 at 7:30 PM!

Hailing from Kansas City, Missouri, Danielle Nicole has spent her life making music and pleasing fans, domestically and abroad. Her stunning new album, The Love You Bleed on Forty Below Records, comprises twelve heartfelt tracks exploring themes of love, loss and perseverance.

The new album was produced by Tony Braunagel (Taj Mahal, Eric Burdon, Robert Cray) and co-produced by Nicole, with John Porter (B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Bryan Ferry) mixing. The tight knit quartet on the songs features Danielle on bass guitar and vocals; Brandon Miller (electric, acoustic, pedal steel, mandolin, and 12-string guitar), Damon Parker (keyboards); Go-Go Ray (drums), and Stevie Blacke (violin and cello).

Nicole was initially influenced by her parents. She recalls seeing her father playing blues guitar and her mother singing with the group Little Eva. With her two brothers, she became a member of Trampled Under Foot, which found initial popularity in the Midwest. Danielle embarked on her solo career with Wolf Den (2015), which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Blues charts and amassed 7.5 million Spotify streams. Cry No More (2018) followed, the record was nominated for a Grammy in the contemporary blues category and debuted at number one in the Billboard Blues Charts – it also boasts over Spotify streams in excess of 10 million.

Nicole has been inducted into the Kansas City Hall of Fame and has been the recipient of seven Blues Music Awards. She recently did a duet with Dion on the upcoming song “I Aim To Please,” and recorded the opening track in the forthcoming Peter Hutchings film “Which Brings Me To You.”

There has been no shortage of praise; Guitar World stated, “Danielle Nicole has won respect and admiration throughout the American blues scene for her soulful, inventive playing and tireless work ethic.” Blues Music Magazine effused, “Nicole brings it, bakes it, and serves it up blazing on a silver soulrocking platter.” The Kansas City Star declared, “Blues and soul vocalists tend to improve as they age. Bettye LaVette is among the artists who became increasingly believable as she matured. Danielle Nicole appears to be following in her footsteps.” And the legendary Koko Taylor gets right to the point: “That girl gets down to the nitty gritty!”

At the beginning of the The Love You Bleed recording sessions; Danielle Nicole knew this new album would be different from those in the past. “Maybe that’s because over half the songs are about falling in love and not falling through the destruction of it,” she says. The album is full of love, loss, will, determination, and all the other things that go together with love. “Make Love” is about consciously pushing past the pain, choosing love, family, and community in life’s difficult moments. It uplifts the message of love and togetherness in the face of hardship.” “How Did We Get to Goodbye” with its raw and honest lyrics, document a soured love that bears no hero or villain, asking how you get to such a place of disrepair without even knowing it. And Love On My Brain, is a potent hybrid of vintage R&B and driving blues, begins as a flirty feeling inside and turns to an overpowering need and deep desire. Right By Your Side is a vintage soul/R&B ballad about never making the mistake of watching “the one” walk away again.

The Love You Bleed gives Nicole a solid place that music has always provided in dealing with love and loss. “It’s been a difficult relationship listening to music outside of professional reasons since the passing of my brother Kris,” she says. “But just being honest in my writing and direction, I find when I’m the truest to myself, that’s when the magic happens. Not trying to find perfection in it so much, but engulfing myself in every moment and being there with the audience is when fun things can happen inside and out.” Many of those feelings are captured in all the songs on the album.

There is a powerful sense of self in The Love You Bleed, taking the new songs to the place Nicole envisioned they could go. “I want to consciously move forward in the natural evolution of my songwriting and singing,” she says. And as I grow as a person, a woman, a mother.”

Jamiah Rogers

Jamiah grew up in a household of musicians. The first hands on experience with music came at the age of three. Jamiah’s father and guitarists, Tony Rogers, had a band that rehearsed every now and then in the basement of the home. You could tell Jamiah was listening because he would come and sit on the stairs and sneak peeks of the bands rehearsal. Every time rehearsal was over he would get on the drums and play. After a couple of months of racket on the drums, Tony figured it was time to teach Jamiah the pocket. Many father and son lessons and three years later Jamiah started playing at church, local nursing homes, open mics, Drum-offs, and festivals. People were very impressed with what they saw and heard coming from this young talent. At age 7 Jamiah recorded his first CD “In the Pocket” which opened doors for him. Jamiah was soon noticed by high positioned people around Chicago land. Jamiah was nominated for “The most talented kid under the age of 12” for The Chicago Music Awards and won for 3 consecutive years.

As the years passed, Jamiah became one of the top drummers in his age group but Tony thought it was time for Jamiah to pick up a new instrument, the guitar. So Tony bought Jamiah his first Fender since the one Jamiah’s mother bought him did not last very long, More father and son lessons came and those lessons consisted of teaching Jamiah all the songs his father knew and played. The next step for Jamiah and the guitar was to expose him to performing up front with a microphone. Jamiah continued to play open mics to gain valuable experience fronting a band.. More practice and exposure produced good results. Jamiah performed and played “Voodoo Child” for The Chicago Music Awards and won the most talented kid over the age of 12.

One of the biggest doors opened up for Jamiah. He attended The Experience Hendrix Concert Tour in Chicago at the Chicago Theater. Jamiah walked in the backstage door and knew he was where he was supposed to be. He met many of his heroes but the one he will never forget was Billy Cox, one of Jimi Hendrix’s bass players. Tony took Jamiah to the green room so he could play but little did he know Billy Cox was listening. Jamiah closed The Experienced Hendrix Tour with Billy Cox and played “Red House”. The music dream was finally starting to open up! At age 16 Jamiah fronts his three piece power trio, Jamiah On Fire & the Red Machine and has recorded his second CD titled “Taking the Stage”. It features ten original songs written and produced by Jamiah and Tony Rogers. Jamiah continues to play his music at major festivals and Canada as well. Jamiah is all about writing, producing and performing good music for fans! Become a fan of Jamiah “On Fire” & The Red Machine.
