Join us for Wine, Cider, and Live Music with Nick Mardon. Nick is widely known by fans and peers as “the hardest working musician in Seattle.” A virtuoso guitarist and soulful vocalist, Nick balances his role at Emerald City Guitars—Seattle’s premier vintage guitar shop—with an active career that includes performing hundreds of live shows each year, teaching private lessons, and recording with various artists. His passion for music has taken him from Seattle to stages in Alaska, Las Vegas, Memphis, and New York.

Nick’s style blends the influences of 60s and 70s classic rock, 90s alternative, and blues-pop, creating immersive, engaging performances that connect deeply with his audiences. Known for his technical prowess, he often dazzles crowds by playing his Fender Stratocaster behind his head and back, delivering a modern mashup of Hendrix and SRV.
