Nicholas David album release show
2025-12-12 19:30 - 22:00
After five years in the making, Nicholas David is celebrating his first vinyl release: “More Than Music” with a 7:30 pm concert Friday, Dec. 12 on the beautiful Sacred Heart altar stage.
The St. Paul-based singer/songwriter has been making music “from the heart for the heart” for nearly 30 years. Like the mighty Mississippi River, David’s musical journey follows a cosmic current that’s taken him coast-to-coast and across the pond. From NBC’s “The Voice” where he met Bill Withers, sang with Smokey Robinson and took home third place honors, to riding along the rock and roll highway with the Allman Brothers’ sons!
Come celebrate an evening where dreams and reality mix into music.
Duluth’s own Teague Alexy opens the evening with his unique brand of storytelling and song.
