ABOUT

Nigel Ball is a British rock blues singer/guitarist, original composition street performer, and touring/session bassist with over 30 years of experience in the music industry.

Since 1989, Nigel has toured extensively across the USA, performing in casinos, theatres, and iconic venues such as Buddy Guy’s Legends and the House of Blues in Chicago.

His international appearances span festivals and concert halls throughout the USA, Europe, and Asia.

Nigel has previously worked with:

Multi-platinum producer Dito Godwin (Universal Records/Motley Crue/No Doubt)
Multi-platinum Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2016) guitarist and songwriter Greg Douglass (Steve Miller Band/Van Morrison)
British Blues Awards winner Bex Marshall (House of Mercy Records)

Ian Siegal
Loz Netto (Atlantic Records/Sniff 'n' The Tears)
Rolan Bolan (EC3 Records/Universal)
BMA award winner Paul Diello (Best Solo Artist 2010)

Nigel was bass guitarist and tour manager on the 2017 Rolan Bolan UK Tour for EC3 Records (Rolan is the son of Marc Bolan from T-Rex).

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

His unique, self-taught guitar style borrows heavily from JJ Cale, Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler, 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.
