***yo. if i added you, i did it myself cause i thought you might like the music. no bots or hoohoonanny like that. so i hope you dig it, partially because that would prove me right and i like to stroke my ego, but mostly because that'd be cool.***

nic engel the musician = takes things seriously
nic engel the person = does *NOT* take things seriously
only when he stops playing and starts bantering with the audience about his ***love for pants*** do you realize it is, in fact, the same person. he's as likely to introduce a song by dedicating it to your girlfriend as give you an honest synopsis. duality is as much a part of nic's music as it is of himself.
blazing an eccentric swath through ***folk, acoustic, prog, and rock***, nic has found an uncrowded niche to work from. he's made his way through albany, boston, new york city, cleveland, pittsburgh, and beyond. from coordinating art & music festivals to holding private concerts in building stairwells (don't tell campus security), he's done everything possible to give something back to his supporters. his dedication earned him Boondock Productions' ***Solo Artist of the Year*** award for 2005. if you like his music, he will genuinely appreciate it (and tell you so). if you make it to a show, he will shake your hand or give you a hug. he will play whatever you ask for, assuming he remembers how. on the off-chance that he doesn't remember, be prepared for anything from disney covers to video game theme songs as recompense.
if you've enjoyed nic's music, please feel free to add him and check out his official site at ilove.nicengel.com . in addition, take the time to check out the other musicians on nic's page, as they are all very much worthy of your attention. comments and messages are always welcome, of course!
check the music above for a live version of "the whoregon trail" with liz malys on piano...don't forget the free full stream of the North Pointe show!...come out to one of nic's SPRING TOUR 2007 shows...and always remember....live free or die.
