New Song! Video of Nikki and Rich Playing “Are We There Yet?” Live

Here’s another clip from mine and Rich’s acoustic gig at The Talking Stick on May 15, 2012 – a brand new song that we hope will make our next EP. It’s an up-tempo, soul-folky tune called “Are We There Yet?”. Enjoy!

We’ll be posting a clip from another new song of ours that we played that night – stay tuned…

Live Video with Nikki & Rich Playing “You Are So Good For Me”

Here’s a first clip from our first acoustic gig that we did last night at The Talking Stick in Venice Beach, CA… It was just me (Nikki) on guitar and Rich on percussion. In the 30-minute set we also played some brand new songs and two soul/funk covers, including Stevie Wonder’s “You Haven’t Done Nothing.” Stay tuned for those clips – we’ll be posting these soon!

Nikki & Rich Play Acoustic Gig at The Talking Stick in Venice Beach Tue 5/15

Rich and I are excited to be playing an acoustic show this Tuesday at The Talking Stick Coffee Lounge in Venice Beach! We’ll be playing songs off of our new EP + brand new songs.
We go on at 7.30 PM sharp, opening for Stefani Valadez who hosts great world music nights at the venue and has performed and recorded some very cool Ladino/Sephardic music. This time Stefani will be performing more blues, rock and folk with Steve Moos. So we will warm up for them with some soul, funk and r&b!
NO COVER!

Releasing Physical CD in May

Soon we will be able to sell our EP, “The Nikki O’Neill Band,” at our shows! Chris Moseman is currently doing the artwork for it.

Our physical CD will be available at our shows at the end of May. And of course the digital version is already released on iTunes…

Nikki has started to build a buzz with her singing and playing at various acoustic venues and blues clubs in the Los Angeles area. Check out our show calendar to catch these stripped down acoustic gigs…

Starting June/July we’ll be playing out with the full band!

Acoustic shows this spring with Nikki & Rich

Last night started off our series of acoustic shows that Rich and I will be playing in May and June (we’ll be playing full band shows as well – stay tuned for those dates!)

We played “You Are So Good For Me” and a brand-new, up-tempo soul tune of ours called “Fire But No Spark” at UnUrban Coffee in Santa Monica. Nikki on guitar/vocals and Rich on cajone/vocals. The audience was terrific and it was great fun, as we usually don’t play acoustic shows.

  

Our EP – Released Today!

We’re happy to let you know that our self-titled 6-song EP, “The Nikki O’Neill Band,”is NOW AVAILABLE on iTunes, Amazon, and lots of other online music stores!

As a special treat to our longtime fans, it features one brand-new and previously unreleased song, “The Problem Ain’t The Man.” It’s a really funky tune with horns, the one-and-only Ed Lyon playing the Hammond, a wailing guitar solo by Nikki, and Rich and Josh laying down a feel-good groove.

The rest of the EP includes our five previously released singles… a rock-funk-soul-gospel-reggae-inspired sonic trip for our new fans.
