Nick Smith
Nick Smith is an Oregon-based singer-songwriter, who has honed a unique blend of raw soul and folk music over the years in his involvement with Portland music collective Deeper Well Records. His songs initially appeared on a few of Deeper Wells 4-track cassette compilations (Volume 2 & Volume 3), and now he has released his fully realized debut full length, entitled Help My Unbelief. With the help of a backing band of stellar local Portland musicians, Help My Unbelief showcases Smith’s love of classic soul and gospel music, brought to life through inspired and intimate performances (the album was recorded almost entirely live in the studio). Recommended if you enjoy music in the vein of Blake Mills, Liz Vice, or Madison Cunningham.
