Hailing originally from Saskatoon Canada, Nigel Mack has been headquartered in the ‘center of the blues world’, Chicago, IL since 2003. The previously Vancouver-based artist has toured North America relentlessly (logging over half a million miles) and headlined many of North America's top blues venues and festivals. It was this heavy road-work that gave rise to the tiltle of Nigel's 2001 release 'Road Rage'.
As a performer Nigel Mack pays a great deal of respect to the blues greats that have influenced him, while embracing the the modern funk-blues commonly heard on the Chicago blues scene of today.
A prolific songwriter, Nigel's music has been heard around the globe on several internationally syndicated television programs including 'Time of Your Life' and 'Dawson's Creek'.
In addition to his full-blown band show Nigel often performs in a solo acoustic format. With his '64 Martin acoustic and a 1929 National steel guitar, Nigel plays music from such lumiaries as Son House, Willy Dixon and Tampa Red in addition to his original tunes.
