Hailing from Rochester, N.Y., singer-songwriter Nick Young’s songs combine power pop hooks with country-tinged roots rock to form an energetic sound that’s familiar, yet all its own. After several years as the frontman and principal songwriter of the band Burning Daylight, Young has spent much of the last year recording his solo debut record both locally and in Nashville, Tennessee with producer Jim Reilley (of The New Dylans). With the help of Reilley and with legendary pedal steel player Al Perkins (Gram Parsons) and drummer Ken Coomer (Wilco) augmenting Young’s Americana/Power Pop sound, the album “Truth Is” is set to be released on November 30, 2010.
Press:
"The 12 songs included on "Whiskey & Romances" are simply beautiful. The sound is stripped- down Americana and lush pop. And though Young leans heavy on his love of the alt-country medium, his penchant for melody and hooks takes away some of the requisite melancholy. The trio twangs tight, riffs rural, and swings sweet, with equal doses of straight time and chops, thus adding to the band's overall accessibility and appeal. You'll hear the Earle, but the Costello is in there, too."
-Frank DeBlase (Rochester City Newspaper)



"If you follow the alt-country ladder up from Gram Parsons to Wilco, at the very top you might find Burning Daylight. Nick Young has written a lot of great songs, and the band plays them with a fiery, raw energy that takes the genre further,
into a deeper, darker place."
-Chris Trapper (Singer-Songwriter, The Push Stars)



"Contagious songs in the alt-country mode, sounding like a cross between Wilco, the Old 97's and vintage Soul Asylum."
-Michelle Picardo (Rochester Freetime Magazine)
