Bio

Jonathan Nicholson

Jonathan Nicholson

Since 1999, Jonathan Nicholson has become known as an instrumentalist whose music is introspective, soothing, yet evocative in its colorful imagery.

A mostly self-taught guitarist who started learning in his teens, he was influenced by the subtle moods of bands like The Cure to the sheer beauty of the piano works of David Lanz and George Winston.

After a stint on the electric guitar, he returned to his initial love of the acoustic guitar. Jonathan’s music has been sold and streamed across the globe, enchanted guests at Fortune-100 company events, and has been featured in documentaries, relaxation videos, and other media.

– Zack Ard, Marketing Director, Mozart’s Restaurant

“Jonathan Nicholson is an artist of quiet magnitude. In the style of Michael Hedges, Jonathan’s articulate and beautiful guitar instrumentals feed the soul and heart.”
– The Renton Patch

“Jonathan’s music is profound and soothing, a balm for the soul. His professional presentation and demeanor are above reproach and he reads a room very well. When Jonathan begins to play, it is as if you put down a heavy load that you didn’t even realize you were carrying. His music speaks to my heart and calms my spirit. Jonathan is a rare player who could realistically be termed a master of his art.”
– Pastor Gretchen Mertes, Mission Developer, Luther’s Table

“… Brilliant fretwork, with fantastic voicings, great dynamic control, and an unerring touch with harmonics.”
– Tom Petersen, The Victory Review

“Nicholson could very easily be signed by Windham Hill some day. His solo guitar work is superbly executed, melodic, and haunting, laden with emotion.”
– The Inlander

“… we were hooked and awestruck from the moment Jonathan played his first note and the candlelit evening at the fine winery shifted to this powerful atmosphere of artistic ambience that inspired us to either play music or write.”
– Julia Lipscomb, The Spokane Sidekick

“… Jonathan Nicholson is one of these acoustic guitarists who has the gift to inspire one and dares to go beyond the surface of the soul.”
– Henk te Veldhuis, Bridge Guitar Reviews

“… Jonathan Nicholson is a noteworthy guitarist who is able to move one with his music and let you ponder about life. His techniques used are first-rate, he uses overtones, flageolets and flowing arpeggios to create his own style with his own solacing signature.”
– Henk te Veldhuis, Bridge Guitar Reviews

“With each succeeding note, I found myself submerged into my own reflections about my life…”
– Ken Hill, Station Manager, Masters Of New Age Radio
