“Big Nick Picnic” is Big Nick’s third CD
project.
This album represents the results of much effort and growth for the band.
Newly appearing on this recording are brothers John and Mike Sieger, who have
been playing, performing, and writing music, quite successfully for many
years. They bring a presence and power to the band that really picks up
the spirit of the recording. And, John wrote the title cut: "Big Nick
Picnic".
This recording also features some very nice fiddle work by guest artist Don
Stiernberg and saxophonist Bob Jennings of the “Paul Cebar & the Milwaukeans”
band. (These guys are 'hot'!)
For the past several years, Big Nick has been studying the Cajun accordion
directly under the tutelage of such Cajun greats as Steve Riley and
David Greeley, Dirk and Christine Powell (of Balfa Tourjours), Jimmy Breaux of
Beausoleil, and Paul Daigle. You'll hear some new tunes & accordion
techniques as a result!
As usual, expect a kickin' gumbo of Cajun, R&B, and Zydeco numbers along with
a few just-plain-fun songs!
