‘Drive Us Home’ by Daniel Nickels | EP Premiere
Exclusive EP premiere of ‘Drive Us Home’ by Daniel Nickels, out April 18th.
Daniel Nickels, an Americana troubadour, found destiny guiding him back to Dark Horse Recording Studios in Franklin, TN, a place that resonated with him since his touring days in 2008. His latest EP, ‘Drive Us Home,’ is a testament to his journey of self-realization and musical evolution. Teaming up with Grammy-winning producer Dave Hagen, Nickels strikes a balance between pop-rock hooks and Southern roots, drawing comparisons to icons like Zac Brown and Tom Petty.
In this song collection, Nickels lays bare his soul with tracks like the heartland anthem ‘Drive Us Home,’ where he reminisces about youth and freedom, and the confessional ‘Testify,’ a love letter amidst uncertainty. The urgency of ‘Walls’ echoes his personal struggle to break free from conformity and rediscover his true purpose. With contributions from Nashville’s finest musicians and Hagen’s guiding hand, Nickels delivers his most authentic and compelling work yet, marking a new chapter of artistic self-possession.
“My latest EP, ‘Drive Us Home,’ is like taking a musical road trip through the heart of Americana. Working with Grammy-winning producer Dave Hagen was a dream come true, and together, we’ve crafted some real soulful, reflective tunes. Each track tells a story of my journey as an artist and as a person, touching on themes like fate, reinvention, and finding your true calling. I poured my heart and soul into this EP, and I hope listeners feel that connection when they give it a listen. So buckle up and join me on this musical adventure!” – Daniel Nickels
