“That slide is naaasty!!” - Bo Diddley
“You shouldn’t miss this experience. It’s cut and dried…this guy kicks ass.” - Musician Magazine (NY, NY)
“Vigarino radiates an unpredictable fervor with slashing slide guitar, powerful vocals, funky licks, modern lyrics, and his ‘slop jar delta funk’ blues. His style elevates the ‘blues’ to a place where roots are respected, yet nudged towards the future. He consistently captures, then rivets listeners with precise, passionate performances.” - Jefferson Magazine (Sweden)
“Having earned finalist status at the 2011 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Nick Vigarino has since been recognized as a world class blues act. Be it a juke or a major festival, Nick delivers the story with a stinging guitar that is second to none.” – Washington Blues Society
“Nick has released 3 CD’s, can be heard on 30+ recordings and 3 film soundtracks. He has performed in 13 countries, has been nominated for 30+ music awards in 3 countries, garnering 24, including an induction into the Washington Blues Society’s Hall of Fame and the prestigious Lifetime Acheivement Award” – Seattle Times
“Nick took to dismantling what was left of all sensibility with the skill of a surgeon and the impact of a wrecking ball. We were promised that this guy smoked, but even that’s putting things lightly.”- The Bluesletter (Seattle,WA)
“Nick plays from the heart with high energy, it is definitely THE blues” – Lee Oskar
