Heads up! My new EP, The Man in Black is gonna hit stores really soon, so keep an eye out on those streaming services!

Here’s my humble pedal board I’m working with. I use the Stomplab for four different presets: Acoustic sim, “space” (phaser with reverb and delay), clean, and a “lead channel.” I use the soul food for drive and a wah off to the right of the pic barely gets used!

I am currently reworking the Dark Watchers EP back from 2020. You can still find the original version of the first song of the EP, Los Vigilantes Obscuros, on streaming services though!

It's now easier to send Nick Ostrye Music a message.

Very proud of my number from the first full year on Spotify! It’s some good numbers to beat!

This last weekend l switched distributors from CDBaby to DistroKid. The album If anyone is missing the album “Moving On” from my catalogue, it’ll be back up shortly, just waiting on the system!

New single out now! Go listen to In the End wherever you rock out to music!

As l both learn to do more things and do more things musically l have learned a bunch of stuff. Though l am no expert by any means, here are for quick tips accompanied by pictures of guitar surgery and my cat!

1: Learn to use your gear better before investing in “better gear”

2: Experiment with your skills to get out of your comfort zone and expand your horizons

3: Relax, okay loosey goosey

4: Take advice with a grain of salt, everyone is telling you their opinions and how to be like them

Big news! Some of you may know that on top of creating my own music and posting it online, l also play in a local cover band. We were recently featured in the February 2022 edition of the Washington Blues Society monthly Bluesletter! And l have a quote!

Along with three pictures of my cat, here are three inspirational facts:
1: If you think you suck at something, but keep doing it, you eventually won’t suck
2: Responsibilities and tasks usually take less time to do than time spent procrastinating
1: If you’re freakin’ you can always call Beacon!
Cheers 🍻

Spotify wrapped!!!

Almost a year since l recorded this one! I kinda miss the Gibson V l recorded it with...

Thanks to Andre Avanessian and “Radio Airplay” for reviewing my song, On the Walls of the Valley!

Guitar case on an amp/keyboard stand makes a great studio desk!

Something cool is coming!

The next step in guitar surgery...

Nice
