After 10 years of playing other people's music, respected Christchurch based musician Nick Burson turns his hand to original music releasing his debut single, Should Have Let You Know released on July 22nd, 2022.

Should Have Let You Know is the first single from Nick’s up and coming album Hindsight, which was written during the 2020 lockdown.

Nick Burson’s debut single Should Have Let You Know' is the perfect blend of singer songwriter and road tested rocker. Think Rob Thomas meets Tom Petty. The song features a rip roaring guitar solo and talks about his experiences playing in the covers scene. Reading almost as an apology to his significant others for failing at life, Nick states, he Should Have Let You Know, living with him chasing a dream might not be easy, but you get the feeling that doesn’t mean he plans to stop.

Nick has spent the majority of life focused on music. Growing up in Nelson he moved to Christchurch to study music at ARA Jazz school. Completing a Bachelor Of Musical Art, finishing his first album as part of his studies. Almost as soon as he finished Nick fell into playing covers for a living. Playing with the renowned Christchurch weddings band CTRL ALT ROCK. The process of playing consistently refined his style to no end but also left very little time to pursue his original music. Skip forward 11 years, Covid-19 caused all live music to slow to a halt. This was the perfect opportunity to get back into writing music. Inspired by life, his new album is a dramatized expression of living with a young family, dealing with stress, and having barely slept the night before. You can still hear Nick’s influences from the aforementioned Tom Petty, Rob Thomas through to Ariel Posen, Ryan Adams, Hendrix, John Mayor, and Everclear. Nick’s lyrical voice is more refined than ever before, dancing between telling you exactly what he means, to unlaying subtle metaphors that leave you thinking about a bigger topic all together.

Check out his new single Should Have Let You Know everywhere good music is!
