   About Nicky Markin
Well my name is nicky, im a local musician and artist in calgary. I picked up the guitar about 6 years ago and never put it down. I'm self taught so i think that makes my music sound a little different (i hope). I dont write my music for anyone but myself, i dont try to fit into a certain genre i just write and play whatever comes out. Im in love with music and making art, because its something that truely always makes me happy! my songs arnt the best of quality, but you can get the gist of them im sure. leave me a message and let me know what you think of it, good or bad, im always up for some creative critism. thanks everyone for listening.

check out my music on purevolume!Listen to Nicky Markin at PureVolume.com

Hi Nicky. thanks for the add. I hope you enjoyed the interviews. Just wondering if you'd be interested in joining us on the 14th. If you check my blog you can get more details, but it involves as many of Calgarys indie artists as possible. I hope you consider. Either way, stay in touch and we'll set something up sometime.

hey Nicky! Your voice is awesome...I consider it on par with Sarah Harmer from her Weeping Tile days, of which yer music vaguely reminds me (back when Miss Harmer still had some balls)! Anyways, figured I'd meet some more 'local' musicians on Myspace (I'm from Red Deer.
Pleasure to meet yer aquaintance!

Hello there my friend!
If i have sent you this before and if you have already contributed my apologies. I am visiting all my friends to help spread the word and it's hard to keep up with who i visited.

I know this message is long but it is so important for you to read!

I thought i'd let you know about "The Green Light Tour." we have recieved beautiful donations :) We are at $555! I am soooo thankful :)

But if you are just getting this message you still have the chance to be a part of something sooo important.

I have 3 friends that are doing an east coast tour.. Todd Sapio from the band "Language Room", Jen Woodhouse and Leslie Sanazaro.. at the start of may called "The Green Light Tour." The theme of the tour is Global Emissions Awareness and they are making it up to Montreal and will play with me!!

THEY WILL BE PLANTING 1 TREE FOR EVERY TOWN THEY PLAY IN. This will help fill the Giant carbon footprint we all leave behind!!!

My reason for writing you is that i am helping to collect donations. I am donating $2 per album sold.

You can visit my page to see the banner and all the links are there for you to visit their pages. There is a donate button right under "The Green Light Tour banner." Can you donate 1$ or more? To give me a hand? That would be appreciated.. You can donate what you want :) I hope you do. If you are not comfortable with using your credit card on the net you can always send a money order to my P.O. Box.. you can write to me and i'll get you you that address :) I am really counting on all my friends to pull together with me on this.

The donate button works with Paypal, e-checks and major credit cards.

I hope you decide to be a part of this gift :)

Wishing you well.

~Jarah.

Vote For Billy & The Lost Boys!
