Description
JARED JAMES NICHOLS is releasing the Highwayman EP in limited edition ORANGE vinyl (First pressing of 500 copies).
"Highway man" was engineered, mixed and produced by Anthony Joseph Perry (son of Aerosmith's Joe Perry). The songs were recorded at Swing House Studios in Los Angeles, with additional songs recorded in France at Indie Ear Studio by Mathieu Kabi.
The EP features the lead single We're An American Band, a blues rock cover of Grand Funk Railroad's 1973 single, plus a cover of Humble Pie's 30 Days In The Hole, and three new Jared James Nichols originals - Old Glory, Fallin' Down and Gone.
It features Jared James Nichols (guitar, vocals), Erik Sandin (bass, vocals) and Dennis Holm (drums).
Guest musicians include Jessica Childress (Allen Stone Band) on backing vocals on We're An American Band and 30 Days In The Hole, and Ben Tileston (Joe Perry solo band) on additional drums and percussion.
The Highwayman EP is inspired by life on the road during a 70+ run of dates in Europe and UK in 2015. Jared and his band wanted to release a few covers inspired by the tour along with some spontaneous original rockers to let his new fans understand where some of his influences come from as a contemporary American guitarist raised on classic rock from both sides of the Atlantic.
