Nic Jeffries Band

 

Nic Jeffries is a big-hearted, soulful musician from Sydney Australia. With a gifted voice that has been described as ‘smooth like chocolate’ his sound has been delighting audiences around Australia and the globe for more than ten years. Also a formidable Saxophone player, Nic recently wowed viewers with his appearances on the popular Channel 9 television series ‘The Voice Australia’ working with the internationally renowned, Ronan Keating.

Resembling a sound somewhere between his love of the history in the great American song book, and his infatuation with the soul greats like Donny Hathaway, Marvin Gaye & Stevie Wonder, Nic has crafted a rich, powerful & soulful sound that is all his own. His original interpretations of classic songs coupled with his emotionally charged original compositions make for a beautiful listening experience.

“Nic has that natural ability to draw an audience into a song… To hear Nic, is to feel good” says international Jazz master, James Morrison. Nic has worked with James on a number of occasions around Australia. A musician that his fellow peers simply love working with, Nic has spent years nurturing younger talent and supporting fellow Australian artists not only through his work hosting ‘The Monday Jam’ at The Basement in Sydney, but also through his inspiring work in music education. He has also enjoyed some extensive time on the radio airwaves, with his own shows in the past featuring on Sydney’s FM99.3 and Eastside FM89.7.

Sydney has jazz – Sydney has soul – Sydney has Nic Jeffries!
