“New America” unites Nick’s NYC band with renowned Portland-based pianist George Colligan for a freewheeling set of all-original music. Biello is joined by Grammy Award-winning trumpeter Charlie Porter, bassist Alex Tremblay and drummer Peter Kronreif. “New America” stands as a modern statement piece on the culture and politics of the United States, as a call to action and a plea for national civility and grace. The result is an album that is equal parts modern bebop and impressionistic storytelling.”

Biello’s debut release “Vagabond Soul” deftly combines a modernistic sense of harmony with lyrical, heartfelt melodies. Fueled by a diverse combination of post-bop, electronica, and folk sentimentalities, “Vagabond Soul” weaves deeply personal stories for a set of daring, bold, and unique performances. Featuring luminaries Phil Markowitz (piano), John Benitez (bass) and Clarence Penn (drums) as well as special guests Vincent Lionti (viola), Paul Jones (tenor) and Andrew Renfroe (guitar).
