    About this Act

    After having been a part of the The Blueswater’s Fringe shows Blues! and Queens of the Blues for four years, Nicole & The Backup Crew decided that there was no reason not to be performing together all year long and so Nicole & The Backup Crew was born. You can find the band in the Jazz Bar at least once a month and everywhere else in Edinburgh the remainder of the time.

    The band plays blues, soul and rhythm & blues with a punky garage attitude. Elevating the sets with high level energy, top notch vocals and musicianship.
