Guitar force of nature Jared James Nichols returns with “Ghost”, his first release since inking with Frontiers Music Srl, and it hits like a live wire. The single arrives with a lyric video and sets the tone for a heavy run of shows that starts 5 Nov in Valencia and wraps 6 Dec at London’s Underworld.
Written to the wire, cut to the bone
“Ghost” began in a Nashville room with Tyler Bryant. Nichols tells it straight: the two locked in, Bryant jumped on drums, Nichols hammered the verse groove, and the song took shape in minutes. Lyrically it tackles the voices in your head, the fight with doubt and fear, and the choice to face it down and win.
Tracked with Jay Ruston at Dave Grohl’s 606 Studios in Los Angeles, the recording leans on feel and trust. Nichols calls it natural and fresh. You can hear the rush of a band pushing hard in a legendary room.
Live fire incoming
Nichols hits Europe and the UK for a headline stretch from 5 November to 6 December. Expect Les Paul, loud amp, hot mic. No frills. Just Blues Power turned up.
JJN Mach II
Celebrated by American Songwriter, Guitar World, and Relix, Nichols has stacked millions of streams and a seriously loyal following. Gibson named him one of only four Global Brand Ambassadors worldwide, a rare nod for a modern player. Now he is finishing what he calls his most defining record. Written after heavy touring and a move to Nashville, it pushes his singing and songcraft while sending the guitar work into the red.
Built the hard way
The road has not been gentle. Cancelled tours, label chaos, breakdowns, and a freak injury that left 20 screws in his arm could have stopped the climb. Instead they sharpened the edge. With Frontiers Music Srl in his corner, Nichols aims to carry his uncompromising rock and roll into more rooms and more hearts.
