About this episode

Today we are featuring a new stripped down interpretation of a slightly older track from Los Angeles singer-songwriter Nico Stai, a favorite musician of mine here on our network, who has had repeat visits in the past few years.

Every now and then you when you visit a live show, the bar chatter slightly drowns out a musician, not letting up as the music plays on. Often, when visiting one of Nico’s solo shows the room tends to be tamed as soon as he starts pouring his soul through the stage speakers, while his guitar-work is perfectly punctuated with his haunting yet very relatable lyrics.

Here’s another one of those songs from Nico Stai, an acoustic live track called ‘Skies Over Your Head’, released a few
short weeks back on October 10th.

Stayed tuned for a new full length, coming in the very near future.
