NB & The G’s started their summer tour last night in Sacramento with the Walking Spanish opening on a hot Friday night at Marilyn’s. Nicki’s husband Tim Bluhm was n Los Angeles playing with his other band The Mother Hips, and not touring in this round of the Gramblers

They played songs from their albums Driftwood and Toby’s Song, covered Linda Rondstat’s “No Good” fabulously, and brought one of their van sessions into the crowd for an acoustic sing-a-long of George Michael’s “Faith”.

Plenty of chances to dance, sing and shout along with these guys!  Catch Nicki and the Grambler’s in western club near you this summer: http://www.nickibluhm.com/tour/
