   About Dwight & Nicole
Highly acclaimed underground soul/blues duo Dwight & Nicole (Dwight Ritcher and Nicole Nelson) has been charming music fans and critics for years with their profound blend of American music. Equal parts 60’s soul, 40’s jazz, and Delta blues, the duo is at the vanguard of New York City’s latest emergence of cool. Performing usually as a duo, Dwight & Nicole have the ability to bring a very big presence to any stage. Ritcher, a multi-instrumentalist, tastefully plays a Gibson Flying V guitar at most shows, running bass lines and finger-picking. When the mood strikes he takes crushing solos, reminiscent of Albert King in their grit and strength. Often, as the music calls for it, he sits at a piano or even behind a drum kit, adding to the texture of their set. Occasionally, Nelson, who builds rhythm by stomping, clapping and playing tambourine, will strap on the guitar, or sit at a piano; further revealing their versatility. In their folk-pop leanings, they are often compared to Tom Waits & Rickie Lee Jones. Critics have also called them the “rocked out reincarnation of Ella Fitzgerald and Jimmy Rushing” in their jazzier turns. Together, Dwight & Nicole generate an extraordinary depth of emotion. During the quiet, intimate parts of the show, the crowd is pin-drop silent; feeling the weight of every word. Dwight’s deep and soulful voice moves with Nicole’s expressive alto, producing lush harmonies that build and erupt, at points, to beautiful peaks; punctuating their set with memorable highlights that remain long after the curtains close. The two have had the pleasure of sharing stages with some of their favorite artists, which is a list of performers as eclectic as they are, including such luminaries as Buddy Guy, Dr John, Maya Angelou, Chuck Berry, Mavis Staples and Carly Simon. “Magnificent!” Exclaimed Ms. Angelou, who attended an opening performance at Boston’s Symphony Hall, and asked for an autographed CD following the show. One online critic states simply, “Add Dwight & Nicole to your list of must-see acts: if you like real, passionate, old-fashioned soul music that works on your mind as much as your heart, you owe it to yourself to discover them.”

Blessed Love ♪♫¸.•*..¨..*•.♪ ๑۩۞۩๑ ★☆Dwight & Nicole☆★ ๑۩۞۩๑ ♫¸.•*..¨..*•. ♪♫
- May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand. May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending.

Teach love to those who hate, and let that love embrace you as you go out into the world. May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched and whose have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter that is more important than the form.

May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart. Find time each day to see beauty and love in the world around you. Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way. What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future. May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience. May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on anothers judgment of your accomplishments. May you always feel loved. I am honored to call you my friend! Fondly; David Harrison Levi - STARMAKER®™ - David Levi Entertainment Worldwide LLC Beverly Hills, CA 90210 USA Personal Management - Music Producer
