Gary Nicholson is a two-time Grammy winning producer and member of the Texas Heritage Songwriter Hall of Fame.  He has had more than 500 recordings of his songs released.  CHECK OUT HIS SPOTIFY SONGBOOK WE CREATED BELOW! It has OVER 24 hours of songs! His songs span multiple genres including country, rock, blues, folk, bluegrass and pop.  After growing up near Dallas and playing in seedy bars in Fort Worth, Texas, he went off to North Texas State University to play music. After an evening partying with the legendary Gram Parsons of the Flying Burrito Brothers following a gig at North Texas, he was lured to Los Angeles by Gram and met up with his college buddies Don Henley and Jim Ed Norman.  This was the early 70s heyday of the Laurel Canyon Hollywood singer songwriter boom and the guitar playing and songwriting bug bit Gary.  His songs have been recorded by an insanely long list of artists which includes Garth Brooks, BB King, John Prine, Ringo Star, Waylon Jennings, Emm yLou Harris, Vince Gill, Stevie Nicks, Fleetwood Mac, Willie Nelson, George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Robert Plant, Reba McEntire and a list that goes on.  His 50 year friendship and collaboration with Delbert McClinton produced over 50 recorded songs and several award winning records.  An amazingly kind and humble man who is overflowing with talent, you may not know Gary Nicholson but you have heard his songs.
