Nicole Atkins

• Americana
• Pop

For two decades, Nicole Atkins has created her own brand of spectral American rock & roll. She’s an old-school torch singer for the modern world, funneling her award-winning songwriting chops and genre-spanning influences — including psychedelic rock, Muscle Shoals soul, the pop grandeur of Roy Orbison, and the dark drama of Nick Cave — into six albums that have earned a global audience.

Regularly featured on year-end “best of” lists by Rolling Stone, NPR, and The New York Times, Atkins has collaborated with artists from across the musical spectrum, including Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, David Byrne, Chris Isaak, Spoon, Elvis Costello, and most recently supported Stevie Nicks on her 2024 US Tour. The title track of her major-label debut album won The ASCAP Foundation Sammy Kahn Award, and her songs have appeared in prime-time TV shows, Netflix and Max, national ad campaigns for American Express, and on the Billboard charts, with tracks like “Domino” becoming Top 40 AAA hits. A road warrior who has performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall to Late Night With David Letterman to Later… with Jules Holland, Atkins is also a professional illustrator and painter whose work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal and No Depression.
