FJ Nanic’s work is original contemporary acoustic ballads and blues informed by years of travel and living out loud. His songs and melodies are enriched with his personal history. You hear a certain overlay from the influence of the gypsy music of his childhood in Europe, but then he’s also influenced by Jimmy Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Santana, Peter Gabriel, Sting, and the blues and (just to keep it interesting) there’s some Jazz and Flamenco thrown in. His work is catchy, nuanced, spicy and contemporary.
FJ Nanic is known for his guitar work, both with his driving rhythm guitar and with his precise and compelling fingerpicking he pushes the instrument in service to the song. His vocals are deep and resonant, his lyrics are poetry and his melodies carry you away and set you down in a different place entirely from where you started.
