Nick Gamer / Rose Gerber / Vista House

https://www.nickgamermusic.com
Portland, Oregon-based songwriter, Nick Gamer, is known for dark, cinematic, Americana ballads which draw inspiration from the varied geography of the PNW. Nick Gamer’s music is where the influence of Lucinda Williams and The Byrds’ Sweetheart of the Rodeo manifests in poetic lyrics that offer emotional complexity as varied as the region’s rugged beauty and as potent as nostalgia that forces a head-on reckoning with the past.

Known for the unique juxtaposition of her wry wit and ability to pen a heartbreaking ballad, Rose Gerber has been a fixture in the Portland, OR music scene where she’s honed her signature sound of rock meets country. Her songs are a melting pot of essential American sounds, bringing a high lonesome rock vibe to the familiar sound of the pedal steel whine. Think Natalie Merchant-fronts-The Cardinals.
