About Nik Gruber

Contact: nikgruber@gmail.com

UPDATE ALREADY!

So it has been one year since I moved to Athens. I am Professor in the Ohio University School of Music where I direct jazz ensembles and will teach improvisation in future quarters. I play guitar by myself often, sometimes in front of people. I also perform with some other OU faculty in Jazz Spoken Here and with Athens funk and soul group Gypsy Cab. I spend the rest of my time worrying and petting dogs.
Fall 2007 I've recently relocated from Iowa City to Athens, OH where I am performing as a solo guitarist. You can still check out my Iowa City projects:

Please enjoy the solo pieces I've posted. I'll continue to record and post things as I work on my solo show. Also, check out my blog for a full biography, press, setlists, and updates on the adventure. My discography is scrolling below.
