                 St. Louisan Nick Nixon is truly a personality in every sense of the word.

                The multi-talented singer, songwriter, performer and all-around entertainer is perhaps the most underrated artist to emerge from the Midwest.

                With several chart records to his credit, the Mercury recording artist is “the” top name in country music in St. Louis, and must be one of Nashville’s brightest up and coming stars.

                With such songs as “She’s Just an Old Love Turned Memory,” “It’s Only a Bar Room,” “Rockin’ in Rosalee’s Boat,” and many others, Nick’s latest single, “Love Songs and Romance Magazines,” is busting the charts wide open. This action has brought about the release of his first album for Mercury, simply titled, “Nick Nixon.”

                Nick has also written several hit songs including, “The Teddy Bear Song,” the first million-seller for yet another St. Louis native, Barbara Fairchild. He has performed all over the United States at top fairs, entertainment parks, rodeos, concerts and nightclubs, and has a string of fans everywhere.

                Nick’s voice has been described as a cross between Charlie Pride, David Wills, and a little Moe Bandy on the side. His country gentle approach to his music and fans attribute to his popularity and constant demand for performances…including the many charitable causes that he always finds time for.

                Star gazing finds us looking up to one of the brightest stars in the future of Country music…Nick Nixon.
