For two decades, Nicole Atkins has created her own brand of spectral American rock & roll. She's an
old-school torch singer for the modern world, funneling her award-winning songwriting chops and
genre-spanning influences — including psychedelic rock, Muscle Shoals soul, the pop grandeur of Roy
Orbison, and the dark drama of Nick Cave — into six albums that have earned a global audience.
Regularly featured on year-end "best of" lists by Rolling Stone, NPR, and The New York
Times, Atkins has collaborated with artists from across the musical spectrum, including Nick Cave &
the Bad Seeds, David Byrne, Chris Isaak, Spoon, Elvis Costello, and most recently supported Stevie
Nicks on her 2024 US Tour. The title track of her major-label debut album won The ASCAP Foundation
Sammy Kahn Award, and her songs have appeared in prime-time TV shows, Netflix and Max, national
ad campaigns for American Express, and on the Billboard charts, with tracks like "Domino" becoming
Top 40 AAA hits. A road warrior who has performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall to Late Night With
David Letterman to Later… with Jules Holland, Atkins is also a professional illustrator and painter
whose work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal and No Depression.
