Singer-songwriter Nigel Egg is a British transplant based in Minnesota who tours internationally, performing over 150 dates per year. Think of a bluesy Paul Simon (but taller) - a unique and modern sound but with a music history from playing with legends like Supertramp and Mott The Hoople in the 1970s.
More recently, Nigel Egg has shared the stage with David Bromberg, Geoff Muldaur, Richard Thompson and Leon Russell. His latest (2014) album, The Blues Is Personal, is receiving world-wide acclaim and radio play.
Nigel says, “I write songs about the stuff I know/feel/sense personally, and also about what my friends and family tell me. I’m a middle class white guy - I never had a hellhound on my trail, and I never worked on the killing floor. But what I do sing about is real, and that comes through in the performance. OK, sometimes it's made up, because you can’t let the facts get in the way of the truth!”
Nigel Egg plays original folk, blues and Americana songs and a very personal collection of soulful American Roots music. His songwriting and his ability to play soulful blues harp and guitar at the same time have won multiple awards from organizations like the Minnesota Folk Festival, the Austin (TX) Songwriters Group and the Telluride (CO) Blues and Brews festival.
