She has released 2 CDs, an all-original debut album called ‘Designs On Me’ (2018) and a tribute to her favorite folksinger, ‘Fare Thee Well: A Joan Baez Tribute’ (2020.)Īs for her attitude toward performing, Nina says, “the audience is as much apart of the performance as she is,” a mindset she has learned is true over several years of contemplating the teachings of her former professor, Livingston Taylor (music artist, and brother of James Taylor,) who said of her: Nina is a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts and a native of Nashville, Tennessee. Her particular brand of finger style playing bears an essence of the folk music she adores, and her ability for songwriting, she says, is “a gift that was given innately and not acquired by effort.” Her talent has made room for her among music artists such as Carolyn Hester, John McEuen (The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band,) and John Paul White (The Civil Wars.) She continues to surprise her peers and audiences through her unique gift of music with songs such as, “Bird on a String,” “All the Crown Jewels” (unreleased,) and, most recently, “My Head Is Full of You” (unreleased.) Her voice is often compared with Dolly Parton, Joan Baez, and Emmylou Harris, but it is clear that Nina’s timbre is of singular quality all her own. Nina’s journey in music is ever-unfolding. Her onstage mien is both endearing and charismatic and she is personable on and off stage. Nina’s artfully crafted songs stand for themselves as lovable woven narratives sung with a confident air and savvy lyricism.
