Dear Friends,

I apologize for the lack of updates. We’ve been playing out every weekend since January, and I tend to overlook this as a place of writing.

Tonight was a night. I am currently sitting in downtown Cincinnati with my brother having just witnessed the amazing talents of Josh Ritter and the Royal City Band. And now I’m reflecting. Caffeine Crashing. Waiting for Pizza.

A special shout out to Spike, the California Musician CWilk and I met outside of the Taft Theater.

Here are some demo of some new stuff. Will be posting a video of a new song this week.

This was brief, more details in the future. Over and out.

Cheers,
NickWilk

Hello Friends! I am writing from German Village in Columbus, but sadly, not Schmidt’s. Any of you that know German Village know how disappointing this can be. Instead I am sitting at Cup-O-Joe drinking T and realizing I don’t have much to do until show time. Recently I became involved with the Columbus Songwriter’s Assosiation. [...]

The release party [...]

This was a fun weekend. At least that’s what I’m going to tell you because that is the truth. The Mini-Tour Emmy Bound To Awesomeness Tour of Not-A-Real Tour Tour was a great success with stops in Columbus, Ohio and Indianapolis, Indiana. At both shows the crowds were great, the beer was tasty, and the [...]

We’re almost there! The end of the bleak cold and frozen tundra that is the Ohio Winter is upon us! That may not pertain to this year’s Winter, but I haven’t had time to come up with a new way of describing the very odd and bipolar season we have received. The Featured Players and [...]
