Blending the good time vibes of roots music with a love for folk/rock, it is a diverse pallet which Nieko draws from. Inspired by artists such as JJ Cale, Ryan Adams, and Neil Young, It is the song and where it takes the listener that Nieko is most interested in. Equally as inspired by the classics as he is contemporary sounds, Nieko enjoys mashing the classics with modern era artists. Having toured both nationally and internationally with his originals band Costa Rae, Nieko has played premier venues and festivals such as Peats Ridge Festival and Open arms and supported the likes of the Beautiful girls, Blue King Brown, Ash Grunwald and Jeff Lang.
