CD Release Concerts Scheduled Across Texas HOUSTON, TX (SEPT 2011) – With his third single rising up the Texas Music Charts and Texas Regional Radio Report, Tiyaga Music/indieExtreme singer-songwriter, Nick Verzosa, is establishing himself as a mainstay in the highly competitive Texas Country market. Just 5 weeks after the release of the title cut for his new album, "She Only Loves Me" is his fastest rising single to date in all three relevant Texas Charts with more than 800 spins every week on radio. The album is drawing great reviews from websites and radio. AOL Music is featuring "She Only Loves Me" on their weekly Listening Party http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds/#/14 A bit of roadhouse, some gritty guitar and a blues hall attitude are the perfect recipe for this Americana record. ~ AOL Music The album begins with the current single and title track "She Only Loves Me," which was produced by Texas country legend Walt Wilkins. Neither Verzosa nor Wilkins disappoint with this easy-going honky tonk song that mixes elements of classic rock n' roll with Red Dirt sensibilities. Texas country fans should drink this track up faster than Bud Light at a Kevin Fowler concert. "She Only Loves Me" from Nick Verzosa lives up to the high expectations set by "The Smoking Gun EP," and that is no easy feat. Nick Verzosa may think that she is the only one who loves him, but the evidence provided here proves that many thousands more will soon love him, too. ~ TexasCountryChart.com Nick and his band, The Noble Union, will be celebrating at CD Release concerts scheduled across Texas. 09.24.11 CD RELEASE SHOW - COLLEGE STATION, TX - Church Street Blues and BBQ "She Only Loves Me" arrives in stores like Hastings, HEB superstores, LoneStarMusic, Cactus Records, Waterloo Records, Ernest Tubbs Records and all independent record stores on September 20, 2011.

Walt Wilkins Finishes Production on Nick Verzosa's First Full Length CD
Artwork from title cut and first single "She Only Loves Me" HOUSTON, TX (JULY 2011) – Tiyaga Music/indieExtreme artist, Nick Verzosa shipped his new single from his first full-length CD, “She Only Loves Me” produced by Walt Wilkins, to Texas/Red Dirt radio this week. “She Only Loves Me (When I’m Leavin’)” is an up-tempo, tongue in cheek, fun song about the universally experienced confusion males have concerning the fickle nature of a lovely lady’s love. The title cut “She Only Loves Me” to the full CD releasing September 20, 2011, has been a crowd favorite at Verzosa’s concerts throughout this past year. After a full year of highway mileage including performances at Texas’ most prestigious venues and 2 charting singles on the Texas Music Chart and Texas Regional Radio Report, a complete record is set for its release this fall on September 20th. Returning to the studio once again with the highly regarded producer/singer/songwriter Walt Wilkins and vaunted engineer Ron Flynt behind the glass, Nick Verzosa brings “She Only Loves Me” to a Texas music scene aching for the next generation of real singer/songwriters to make their voices and lyrics heard. Combining a classically country sound with a rockabilly attitude, this 10 song album brings the kind of energy and emotion you can expect from Nick’s live show, which is said to be a different experience every night. Relatable lyrics flow over the smooth gravel in the bottom of Nick’s voice and tumble powerfully over the edge in the most poignant moments of his songs. Staunchly independent, Nick has proven to be that necessary mix of pure talent, hard work and personality required to dig deep roots into the always competitive Texas music market and shows the ability to spread his branches outside the state lines as well. Averaging 4 shows a week is not uncommon for he and his 4 piece band of talented musicians as they continue to impress and entertain a constantly growing fan-base. His strong belief in “working hard for what you want” is self-evident in his road-warrior mentality, still finding time to vigilantly hone his songwriting craft, which he would tell you is his true passion. “I feel very blessed to have been prepared for the opportunities that have unexplainably come my way.” said Nick, “Everyone I’ve met along this journey, from band members to collaborators to business associates to loved ones have positively affected me somehow and even though we’ve worked very hard, the pieces have seemed to just fall together. I can’t wait to see what’s around the next corner.” indieExtreme, with offices in Houston, TX and Nashville, TN., represents musical acts ranging from folk legend Judy Collins to 7 year old singing sensation and Disney actress, Kaitlyn Maher.

Verzosa Collecting Positive Reviews in Country Music Magazines The reviews coming in from Country music magazines and website E-zines have consistently raved about “The Smoking Gun EP”. “Out now on Indie Extreme, “The Smoking Gun EP” boasts the talents of Walt Wilkins as executive producer. Wilkins has done a solid job, but then having a talented protégé must have helped. Verzosa is a workable package of guitarist, singer and promising writer. The tune doing the radio rounds, “Back When Love Was Easy”, proves the point. It is a melodic ache. Wrapped in a voice blended with all the likeable qualities of a country tune – easy, relaxed and listenable – and with the understated presence of the band – Verzosa nails shared love that has travelled the distance.” “Success in the music industry is dependent on talent, hard work and a good amount of luck. But the process is whole lot easier if an artist has the frequently mentioned "it" factor. From the first track to the last, Nick Verzosa proves that he's the real deal. And the five stellar tracks on "The Smoking Gun EP" will leave Texas country music aficionados aching for a complete 11 or 12 song album. Nick Verzosa is a Red Dirt artist that should be carefully watched, and listeners of the "The Smoking Gun EP" will be expecting great things. With a project as good as "The Smoking Gun EP," a full album could not come soon enough.” Verzosa recorded “The Smoking Gun EP” with Texas music legend, Walt Wilkins in early 2010. The single from the EP “Back When Love Was Easy”, garnered top 10 status at the annual NSAI’s 2010 Spring Showdown during Tin Pan South 2010. Nick is currently touring throughout Texas in support of his new recording, visiting radio stations, and writing more songs to finish up the full length album in late Fall 2010.

Verzosa teaming with Walt Wilkins for sophomore release. NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Feb 2010) – Indie Extreme recording artist, Nick Verzosa will be in the studio starting late February to begin work on his sophomore release. A few years ago, Verzosa gave up the life he knew in pursuit of a musical career. He sang with the accompaniment of his first band, Johns Guns, who released their debut album, titled “Buy Sell Trade,” in 2007, an album predominantly penned by himself. Verzosa has since held a solo career and has been described as both classic and innovative. His song, “Come to Drink of It”, placed first out of hundreds of nominees, for the 2008 Indie International’s Songwriting Competition, in the country music category. Verzosa has continued to write and perform 100-150 dates per year, and is getting ready to head back into the studio to produce 6 song EP. Verzosa will be teaming up with legendary producer and songwriter Walt Wilkins. Wilkins’ songwriting efforts have been linked to Pat Green, Ricky Skaggs, and Guy Clark, to name a few. Wilkins has also released a personal project, “Diamonds in the Sun”, which has shown up on the Americana Music Association’s Top 100 albums two years in a row. The combined efforts of Verzosa and Wilkins will be noteworthy, and something to look forward to hearing. |
