LITTLE TOO LATE AND RAVENOUS AVAILABLE – LISTEN NOW January 15, 2013

“Little Too Late” and digital B-side “Ravenous” are now available for download through our website, iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play. Both tracks were recorded at the Bluhms’ SF studio, Mission Bells. Already a live favorite, "Little Too Late" is an energetic loper whose lyrics feature words of advice from a pigeon-toed drifter who briefly uses the Gramblers' home as a refuge from the police. "Ravenous" is a simple, repeating piano figure that becomes layered with electric guitars and pumping rhythm section. The narrator seeks revenge on her lover's murderer. It was written as part of a concept album. The notebook containing the album's ideas and lyrics was lost and this was the only song that was copied elsewhere.

LISTEN AND DOWNLOAD NEW TRACKS NOW

 
 
NEW LIVE VIDEO - LITTLE TOO LATE January 15, 2013

To accompany the single release we’ve posted a live video of “Little Too Late” from the October 27th show at the Independent in San Francisco. The video is from the Wedding Party celebration and features a wedding dress, a few top hats and some very unique tuxedos.

Lionel Richie - ‘Easy’
Pat Benatar - ‘Hit Me With Your Best Shot’

UPCOMING SHOWS | NEW VAN SESSION

May was a wonderful month for The Gramblers, which we kicked off at the annual Hipnic in Big Sur. We then had the honor of playing some beautiful theaters and venues in California and the Pacific NW with The Bodeans. We would like to extend a big thank you to them and to all their fans for being so kind and accepting of us! June is gearing up to be another busy month. We even found time to drop a new ‘Van Session’ of Pat Benatar’s ‘Hit Me With Your Best Shot.’ With our first San Francisco Residency ever at the Rickshaw Stop starting next Tuesday, June 5th, we are excited to play some new songs and invite our extended musical family to the stage. We will be all over in California during June, including Deren and my hometown of Lafayette, so check out our schedule for a town near you! .

Love,
Nicki Bluhm and The Gramblers

Drawing from the powerful songbooks of Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Gram Parsons and more, Brokedown in Bakersfield showcases the striking songwriting and instrumentation of guitar-slinging country sounds that added oil to the Dust Bowl life of '60s-era Southern California - on the road, in the truck, out the back, and at the honky tonk.

TIM & NICKI BLUHM: 'DUETS' November 15, 2011
Tim and Nicki Bluhm have recorded an 8-song limited CD EP called Duets.
The duo blends the honky tonk harmonies of California country with West Coast folk and acoustic Americana, interlaced with vocal nuances and an emotional intimacy that inspire pin-drop attention.  Duets features six original songs co-written by the Bluhms, plus two covers: “Running Wild” by Ray Edenton and Donny Winters; and “Reno, Nevada” by Richard Fariña.  The couple recorded the songs at their San Francisco studio, Mission Bells, with producer Dan Prothero (Tim’s solo album California Way, Galactic, JJ Grey & Mofro).


WATCH VIDEO

“Duets sounds like a smile,” says Nicki.  “Duets is a collection of songs from the past and of the present.  Its simplicity and authenticity captures an era forgotten while being fresh and new.  These are songs filled with love, character and charm that you can hear on every track.”

It is available via here, iTunes, and Amazon and at shows. Visit TimandNickiBluhm.com to preview tracks, watch a video, and purchase!

THE NEW ALBUM: 'DRIFTWOOD' OUT NOW February 1, 2011
The new album 'Driftwood' is available on CD and for download at nickibluhm.com as well as iTunes and all major digital distribution retailers. Here's what the press has to say about it:

“Part Karen Carpenter and Part Grace Slick, Bluhm’s voice moves effortlessly between softer, country tinged balladry and retro 60’s/70’s rock.”  -No Depression

"Golden. ... instantly announces a new voice on the Americana scene." - SF Chronicle


"...cements Bluhm’s place as one of the best women in rock today. Driftwood is seriously addictive and has such a well-crafted, easy glide and end-to-end craftsmanship that it’s hard to imagine someone not diggin’ it." - Dirty Impound

"Driftwood is an album one leaves on repeat because one spin simply won’t do. It’s the kind of record one sings along to, perhaps a little too loudly for polite company, and pushes into the hands of friends because it’s so bloody satisfying." - Jambase
