“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.”
