----Wendy Nichol takes the stage with a sound so organic, so soulful and so inspiring that it's easy to imagine her playing alongside the greats like Ani DiFranco, Norah Jones and Jewel. This sweet soprano's romantic blend of indie-rock and soul with a hint of hip- hop certainly keeps listeners on their toes.
----Wendy was born in Houston, TX and moved to Mexico City when she was 12. Later, she moved to Tulsa, OK with her family where she currently resides. In Tulsa, Wendy found her musical calling after joining choir and taking guitar lessons. Her songwriting came naturally as her journals are filled with poetry she has written. Playing solo for the first few years, Wendy now has a committed band, which included her husband before he was deployed.
----Wendy has performed her soul satisfying tunes at venues in Tulsa and at CD release parties for other bands. She played Diversafest last year and the Cain's Ballroom’s "Freaker’s Ball" as well as their annual "Ballroom Blitz" this year. She debuted her song "Seeking You" on Tulsa's Channel 6 morning news, was nominated for Rising Star in the Tulsa Spot Awards and has had radio play on the EDGE, IROK and Home Town Heroes, among others. Wendy recorded her first album Steppin Up which was released March 2007, including several live tracks and one hidden track.
----Wendy will be performing at an Indie Film Festival Friday April 25 2008 where her song "There Have Always Been" is featured in one of the films, Jesus Fish. Wendy will also be featured on the RSU local talent radio show "Home Town Heroes," Monday May 5th. You can hear her and her band interviewed as well as almost two hours of music she will perform live on the show.
----Wendy and her band are currently recording her next album which they hope to release by the end of the summer as well as working on a music video for one of the album’s featured songs. The singer/songwriter has signed with a booking agent and is hoping to go on tour. She looks forward to radio, film or television play.
----When asked to describe what sets her music apart, Wendy replied, "I don’t try to be like anyone. What comes out of a song is what the song calls for. I don't think about how trendy I can be or if I can sound like someone in particular. I’m me and no one else can do that."
What people are saying about Wendy
"a singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar, a sweet soprano and a hip hop delivery... 'Light to Your Demise' has a bit of a swagger not usually seen in folk music - unless you're Ani DiFranco."
Matt Elliott (Tulsa World)
"You have something beautiful to say in ya music--nice, real nice."

I dont really have any other music like this, but I really like your style.
Before you can even start to say "Oh this is just another generic acoustic thing" it seems to change up.
As far as that whole "rap" thing is concerned with Light To Your Demise, it's all in the drums. Then there's that part towards the end, the drums make me think of some heavy metal stuff. It's such a phenomenon paired with your voice & your acoustic.
