Vern Nicholson Vern Nicholson Toronto Vern Nicholson is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and purveyor of folk 'n' roll: spirit-filled sad songs made better. Drawing on his classic rock DNA, pop instincts and folk sensibility, he crafts soulful and melodic music, creating a vibe that's gutsy, warm and inviting. Vern's pedigree includes lengthy stints with speed-pop trio Sour Landslide and alt-country mavens The Benvereens, with whom his fluid bass work and soaring harmonies graced five critically acclaimed albums. In addition to his signature bass and vocals, over the years Vern has taken up acoustic and electric guitar, dulcimer, mandolin, banjo, violin, keyboards, harmonica, recorder, drums and percussion. Pretty much any instrument he encounters is fair game—the more exotic the better. On the performance front, he has played over 300 shows and toured across Canada and the US Midwest, along the way sharing the stage with such luminaries as Feist, The Lowest of the Low, Universal Honey and Art Bergmann.
