🎶 EP ANNOUNCEMENT 🎶

Prolific, award-winning artist Darren Nicholson Music announces today a brand new EP, I’m Not Out, now available for pre-save/add ahead of its November 6 release. Following promptly after his acclaimed new album, Lonesome Trails and Tall Tales, which was released in May, I’m Not Out is a collection of six additional songs captured at the same recording sessions, a bonus gift to bluegrass fans.

“Some of these songs are from the lighter side of life to serious, to inspirational,” the singer-songwriter-mandolinist explains. “Our goal is to make music that is lyrically and sonically impacting.”

The short-but-mighty EP is just that. “Leaving Lonesome In the Rearview,” Nicholson’s most recent single and the EP’s lead track, is already making appearances on the Bluegrass Today and BanjoRadio charts. I’m Not Out also features a bluegrass rendition of “I’m Home Late Again,” whose country counterpart graced Lonesome Trails and Tall Tales, and a radio cut of “Eager Overachiever,” also on the new LP. Additionally, listeners will enjoy three brand new original Nicholson songs, the project’s title track, the grooving and jammy “I’m Not Out,” plus “Somebody Let Her Down,” a classic lonesome bluegrass number, and “I Can’t Say a Word,” a tender story-song ballad. The six songs do an excellent job capturing the depth and breadth of styles the Western North Carolinian musician has mastered over his lifelong career. Jamgrass, hillbilly, and old-time influences, shades of Americana, string band, and singer-songwriter folk – Nicholson can do it all.

“I’m so proud of this group of songs!” says Nicholson. “I got to co-write with some of the best writers in bluegrass music. The musicians and singers were absolutely top shelf. I believe that if you surround yourself with wonderful people, then wonderful things happen.”

“I’m Not Out is a great mantra,” Nicholson continues. “Never give up. Never give up on yourself, your songs, your dreams, and your ability to make a difference in your corner of the universe.”
