Nick Curran and the Nitelife's May 2004 Tour through the southeastern USA. The classic trio lineup with Damien Llanes on drums, and Preston Hubbard on bass.
Its hard to believe that both Nick and Prez are no longer with us. Thankfully we have this terrific video to remember them by. This video was shot at The Armory in Durham, NC. by Wayne Jones of Headstrong amps. I think it was the first year that Headstrong might have been in business. Many may not know but Wayne was/is a veteran of the west coast jump and swing blues scene having played with James Harman's band and many others. Wayne told me that he had brought his 3x10 tweed Bandmaster style amp (Bluelamp 3x10 I believe?) out for Nick to check out. And, Wayne was terrific enough to make a video of this incredible performance. As I recall, Nick plays the Headstrong amp in the 2nd set (where the camera is to Nick's right).
We are fortunate to have this video to enjoy. Nick and Prez aren't here to make anymore music. I saw this tour as well and regret not making a video of it myself. Many thanks to Wayne Jones for taking the time to do this for all of us.
Please BUY Nick's music from Delta Groove Records, Blind Pig Records, and Texas Jamboree Records!!! And tell Wayne at Headstrong thanks for producing this video!!!
