In the heart of St. Louis, Missouri, where the Mississippi River carves its path through the Midwest, Nick Gusman weaves profound themes of love, identity, and freedom into lyrics about the every day – from stray dogs to river boats – Nick has garnered a passionate and growing fanbase across the USA and beyond. As Daniel Hill of the Riverfront Times puts it, “Gusman has a knack for writing songs that are instantly memorable and relatable.” Nick Gusman is true-grit Americana and he is poised to leave an indelible mark on the alt-country landscape.
