Description

Join us for an evening of live music on the scenic Manistee River! The Roots on the River concert series will feature incredible regional talent on Thursdays throughout July and August. We are extremely excited for this year, as the Manistee Jaycees have passed the torch to new nonprofit, Music Sparks Meaning, to continue the longstanding series for many more years! - Nick Veine is a singer-songwriter and composer born and raised in Manistee, MI. He grew up playing rock and blues before he started singing, pivoting to acoustic music without losing that electric flair. His passion encouraged him to attend Berklee College of Music, where he earned his Bachelor of Music in Contemporary Writing & Production and eventually to pursuing and completing a Master of Music in Classical Composition at Belmont University. Degrees aside, some of the best education he got was from collaborating with other musicians in jam sessions, private lessons, and a cappella groups. You can see him nowadays playing around the mitten performing his eclectic mix of blues, country, jazz, and original music. Think Johnny Cash meets James Taylor meets Alan Menken.
