A working class soul.
A ten pound steel guitar.
A voice dripping of nostalgia.
Nick Andrew Staver has emerged as a captivating American Roots & Blues songwriter and the blue collar valleys of southern Pennsylvania could easily be labeled as his co-writer.
Writing and recording as a solo artist since 2014 has led to the release of albums including recordings Rust Don't Shine (2022) and recent 2024 studio release, ROOTS.
ROOTS and Rust Don’t Shine display perfect examples of Nick’s versatility between both folk and blues songwriting. Colorful lyrics, emotive vocals and a unique guitar style, Nick frames each song within the boundaries of his musical influences but seamlessly steps outside the lines to spotlight his personal approach to the two genres that have created the foundation of his musical career.
Every live performance exposes parallels between his personal journey and the American experience, no matter the size of stage.
Each song, a story to further develop the focus on the benefits and struggles that come with small town rural life.
