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. Indie Extreme, with offices in Houston, TX and Nashville, TN., represents musical acts ranging from folk legend Judy Collins to JUNO award winning CCM artist Matt Brouwer to 5 year old singing sensation, Kaitlyn Maher. The firm partners with Fontana Distribution for distribution and retail marketing, along with providing various label services to independent labels. |

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. |
