Nicole Starch

About Me

Always emerging, always changing, and forever learning - this best describes the journey Nicole's music has taken her over the last few years. Her debut album, Miscellaneous, released in June of 2005 features a variety of styles from popular rock to jazz to indie folk. Undecided as she was in style, the message is one of struggle, self-realization, and the painful process of maturity. The album is aptly named for those to whom it is dedicated - Community Church, or "Church for people who don't like church." Guest musicians include Caleb Caruth, Robbie Seay of the Robbie Seay Band, Jeff Moore, Joe Degelia, and Ross King.

She is currently working on her second album, tentatively named Awkward Conversations. "I'm pretty excited about where this is going - the subject matter is more mature, and the style is more focused, more stripped down, more what I actually listen to."

More Adventurous. . .
