A very chilled Instrumental to kick 2025 off with. Just 1 guitar and a simple arrangement and recording, ES335 and reverb and relax.

2nd track for 2025 and it's a stomper. 'Fallen Off The Edge of The World', chunky Les Paul rhythm and lead, catchy vocals and middle 8 with a seriously addictive solo and refrain. They don't understand, but you will.

Fallen Off The Edge Of The World

Well the lyrics factory is back in production so the tracks will start rolling off the line again! 
Lots going on here, an addictive sincere guitar line brought to life by heartfelt vocals, bass and drums/percussion building tension slowly released over duelling guitars in a staccato solo. Melody, Harmonies and Expression continue for the next album taking shape.

Like A Spinning Top.WAV

An upbeat instrumental rocker with more riffs and twists than the Mille Miglia. All the trademarks from the NickGCherrydot stable are here with funky basslines, driving rhythm, sharp guitar lines and a heavily out of phase solo. It's a fun packed ride, sit back and let the journey begin. 

Italian Time

This track has been following me like a shadow. It's been progressively tinkered into its current final guise and I've lived and breathed it daily for the last 3 months. Given that the 220 preceeding tracks rarely exceed 1 month in the making I think that reflects the relevance and significance of 'All I Can Change'. It's a  heavy Blues based rocker with NickG twists, chopped 335 chords, d tuned, harmonies, groove bass, rise and fall a moody middle 8 and the squelchiest wah solo to date! 
See what you think, album 13 progressing nicely.

All I Can Change

This has got bags of energy and drive, cowbell, wah wah, harmonies and stereo guitars. Album 13 is lit.

When I See You There

Spring inspiration, probably one of the most creative periods I've had for a while. Album 13 completed with this track which sets its stall out clearly in the alternative rock style with all the Nickgcherrydot trademarks on display. The vocals and three part harmonies feature prominently along with a staccato blues riff, off beat fills and bass lines that Isaac Hayes would be proud of.  Reminds me in the production stage of 'Reason To Blame’ in that the chorus is so addictive I dare you not to find yourself humming it hours after, its indelible. 
Now the other side of this business takes over as artwork, mastering and running order are finalised for Album 13, 'Every time' will be available for summer release. 
It's the best yet, naturally.

All In Your Hands

So when I released 'Everytime' previously I knew there were lyrics waiting and here they are. Album 13 'Every Time' releases June 12th across usual platforms and is a strong collection of 12 tracks penned since last September providing a mature and melodic backing track to the summer. Enjoy.

Everytime

London Weekend Television

Dedicated to all those folk who like me, struggle with anxiety. A reminder that sometimes we just need to stop and breathe... Hope this helps. 

Breathe

Gibson Cherry Dot obsession continues. Inspired by exciting grooves and a 60’s vibe which I wear on my sleeve. There’s an eclectic mix of guitar fuelled rhythms all written, produced and performed by myself which have now culminated in 226 tracks in 5 years. Having added vocals to the mix this has brought a further depth and individuality to the songs. 2020 saw the creativity in writing and self releasing 2 EP's and 9 albums 'The Black Tulip' , 'Prismatic' , 'Who Would You Be?' , 'The Red Carpet', 'Cat & Mouse', ‘How This Plays Out', 'Positive Signs', 'All The Colours' and  '9' from April 2022, it's frenetic.
These are available on the usual outlets Spotify/iTunes/Deezer/Pandora/Napster, Bandcamp etc.

Its eclectic, quirky I confess, British? Experimental in places but above all stuffed full with Gibson guitars, energy and a passion for music and life in the highs and lows that days of late bring.  Hope you appreciate the artwork too all photographed or produced by me to keep it authentic and original.

The tenth album 'Keep On' saw the development of style and flow which  includes my personal favourites 'The Things That You Love', 'Man on The Run' and the title track, 'Keep On'. These all adapted a different approach and development that simply wouldn't have occurred at the start of the journey,  

The music's progressing and the album 'The Perfect Storm' set the benchmark in online attention with the title track single. I think the style and sincerity of performance mirrored the fact that all of my tracks are written for a reason and sparked by quite intense life changing events behind the scenes, you couldn't write it or maybe I could ! 
Personal choices at the moment are the opener Can't Erase The Memory, I Can and of course the single The Perfect Storm. 

Twelfth album ‘Heart Of Blue’, is completed and recently released  September 6th 2024. It's been a while (for me) in the making and each track just builds on the last. The themes of resilience, belief and positivity remain and the music continues to be guitar driven and punchy with hooks and catchy melodies.  

Album 13 is entitled 'Every Time' and is released to all platforms on June 12th. To come so quickly after 'Heart Of Blue' says a lot about the inspiration and creative drive. Themes of resilience, perseverance, hope and love, dominate in what I believe is my most cognitive and mature album yet, see what you think.
 
I'm thankful the creativity continues. The fact the writing and playing still excites and intrigues is a bonus! Where there's a story to tell and a melody to be heard the last song is always my drug for the next, 13 albums in it's not abating anytime soon.
