Nigel Ball

Nigel Ball has completed several tours across the USA – performing at casinos, theaters and prestigious venues including Buddy Guy’s Legends and House of Blues, Chicago – alongside playing festivals and theatres in the USA, Europe and Asia.

Nigel has previously worked with multi-platinum producer Dito Godwin (Universal Records/Motley Crue/No Doubt), British Blues Awards winners Bex Marshall (House of Mercy Records), Will Johns (Big Bear Records/Sons of Cream) and Ian Siegal, Loz Netto (Atlantic Records/Sniff ‘n’ The Tears), Rolan Bolan (EC3 Records/Universal) and BMA award winner Paul Diello (Best Solo Artist 2010).

Nigel was bass guitarist and tour manager on the 2017 Rolan Bolan (Son of Marc Bolan – T-Rex) UK Tour for EC3 Records (an independent London label with distribution links through Universal Records).

Loz Netto regards Nigel as “an exceptional virtuoso and much sought-after session player.”

When performing solo, Nigel usually plays a set of a blend of original compositions, written over the last three decades and covers from the 1950’s to the present day.

His unique, self-taught guitar style borrows heavily from JJ Cale, Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), combining blistering lead lines and bass-infused rhythm guitar with well crafted lyrics and a bluesy, rock-edged vocal which reflects his many years of touring experience.

December 2024: Nigel is currently working on a new acoustic album and a new band album, scheduled for release in early 2025.

Nigel is currently working as a session and deputy bassist and solo guitarist/vocalist, playing engagements in Europe and the USA with existing UK, US and European clients.
