Pioneer 90.1 is proud to present a free concert by Twin Cities soul musician and “The Voice” finalist Nicholas David, Friday August 1, 8PM, at Hartz Park in Thief River Falls.

For more than a decade, Nicholas has composed alternative soul music that connects with people worldwide on a deeply human level. Prior to his unforgettable 2012 run with Team CeeLo on NBC’s The Voice, Nicholas had already recorded five critically acclaimed albums, experienced national radio airplay and participated in multiple charity and collaborative projects.

Fans of “The Voice” were introduced to his soulful and storied career during this time where he struck a chord with America and finished a fan favorite in the top three. Nicholas recently returned to The Voice as a guest artist to unveil his new original single, titled “Say Goodbye,” and the eponymous EP.

The response was astounding; within 24 hours the EP hit #1 on the iTunes Alternative Chart and #2 on the iTunes overall Top Album Chart. Minneapolis’ own Star-Tribune heralded the release as “versatile country soul.”

The concert is made possible by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. It’s part of RiverFest, a Thief River Falls community celebration marking its fifth year in 2014.
