Stevie Nimmo

Stevie Nimmo is a Scottish blues singer and songwriter, known as one half of the Nimmo Brothers. He has a long-standing reputation in the blues and roots scene and performs in blues and blues rock settings.

Career

He is recognised through his work with the critically respected blues rock outfit the Nimmo Brothers, with whom he tours extensively. His solo work includes the debut project The Wynds of Life, which he promotes in a stripped-back acoustic duo format with Scottish guitarist Conor Smith.

In this solo project, Nimmo presents a more personal and intimate side of his writing. The material combines country, gospel and blues influences, and includes self-written songs alongside a small number of carefully chosen covers. His earlier recordings with the Nimmo Brothers also touch on some of these influences.

Musical style and collaborators

His live duo partner Conor Smith brings a style shaped by country and R&B, with influences including Danny Gatton, James Burton, Tony Rice, Ry Cooder, Jimmy Bryant and Wes Montgomery. Smith is an experienced young guitarist who has shared the stage with musicians from around the world, and the combination of the two players creates a mixed blues, country and roots sound.

Reputation

Nimmo is described as a singer-songwriter of considerable depth, with a voice noted for both grit and emotional range. His work includes blues-steeped rock material such as Long Road To Heaven, which draws on swampy Louisiana-style blues and the Muscle Shoals sound.
