The musical partnership between Nick and Chip began at Georgetown University in Washington DC around the year 2000. As good friends, they began playing guitar together and quickly developed their own formula and laid-back style to cover a wide range of Classic Rock, 80s, Folk, and Pop Songs. Adding a bassist and drummer, they formed a band in college and performed regularly around the Georgetown bar scene to the delight of aspiring college graduates.
After graduation, they packed Chip's renowned red Volvo station wagon full with guitars/amplifiers and headed down south along the US coast. There they played numerous gigs in multiple states including South Carolina, New Jersey, and Florida.
Twenty plus years later, Nick & Chip continue to perform regularly together. They frequently reunite for Chicago summer block parties and bar gigs. In 2023, they helped to launch the music scene at the Valley Farm Outpost, a unique location nestled in the mountains east of San Diego, California. There they performed a special multi-day acoustic set focused on country rock classics, to the delight of high altitude mountain goers. Nick & Chip are currently gearing up for a European tour in the summer of 2024.
