Burlington's Dwight + Nicole started out as a stripped-down duo based around guitarist Dwight Ritcher's blues-driven playing and Nicole Nelson's warm yet powerful singing. After establishing themselves in the Boston scene, the couple moved to the Queen City, adding drummer Ezra Oklan and keyboardist Leon Campos to fill out their roots-influenced brand of indie soul. On their new album, 'Day or Night,' Dwight + Nicole again worked with Brooklyn producer Joel Hamilton (Paul McCartney, Norah Jones), who also helmed their 2024 LP 'The Jaguar, the Raven & the Snake.' The band celebrates the new record with a release show at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington this Friday, March 20.
