A little bit rock, a little bit blues, A little bit folk, a little bit country and a little bit everything else. Smokey, smooth, rockin acoustica. Post- Folk. Percussive rhythm guitar with a voice like honey.
Described as “An extraordinary singer-songwriter with powerful vocals…” (iamedia), and a "Bright Talent", (Galway Independant) melodic and bluesy post-folk artist Niceol Blue describes her music simply as "post-folk. Defying genres with her acoustic guitar and powerful voice, this accomplished rhythm guitarist and troubadour serenades crowds from curbside to club. In 2006 and 2007 she was voted a top ten finalist for the Northwest People’s Picks (Seattle Times), and she has played on stage at both Folklife and Bumbershoot Festivals in Seattle, and far reaching venues from Portland Oregon and Seattle Washington, to Honolulu Hawaii and all over Ireland.
Born in Oregon and now living in in the West of Ireland and loving it, Niceol spends her time between gigs, working on new songs, rehearsing with her band The Fortunate Ones and recording. She has played alongside such local and international well-knowns as Artis the Spoonman and Seattle Jim Page.
Niceol is currently working on a full album, to be released within the next year.

Hey Niceol - That's a surprise! Have nothing over the weekend, but there are a lot of places with music, if you're looking. I'm still getting acquainted with them, myself. If, on the other hand, you're not in the mood for cross-eyed drinkers and red-eyed smokers, there's always Powell's City Of Books. I hope whoever it is you were mentioning who is unwell gets to feeling better real quick. All the best....
Hello Niceol - Hope you're well. A singing songwriting duo called The Lost Brothers are doing a free gig at the Roisin Dubh on the 5th of May, and are well worth going to see. They are from Ireland, but based in London at the moment. They were in Portland, Oregon, for a few weeks, recording their second album, and only headed back a couple days ago. Check out their myspace page and see what you think. All the best.
