Nick Norman Debut Features Guests Jamey Johnson, Josh Abbott
Nick Norman is dropping his 11-track, self-titled debut album on Friday, March 5. Norman is the flagship artist signed to Lee Brice’s Pump House Records.
Produced by Brice, songwriter Rob Hatch, and producer/engineer/songwriter Elisha Hoffman, the project features special guests Jamey Johnson (“The Cock Crows”), Josh Abbott (“Rolling in the Grave”), Rebecca Lynn Howard (“Going Through the Motions”), and Brice adding background vocals and guitars throughout.
Norman grew up listening to a soundtrack of home state heroes from his native South Carolina, including Edwin McCain and Hootie & the Blowfish, and icons like Stevie Wonder and The Band. He soaked it all up, mixing the rootsy sounds of the FM dial with the power of the gospel singers he’d hear every Sunday morning at the local church.
A longtime friend and collaborator of Brice, he began recording songs as a teen, working inside a makeshift studio that he constructed with Brice in the pump house of a local church camp. He later moved to Key West and established himself as one of the area’s strongest draws. His newest album brought him back to Nashville to work with his friend.
“From start to finish this has been a labor of love,” said Brice. “I grew up with Nick and it makes sense we’d do this together. I’m proud to make his album the Pump House debut and support his musical introduction on a national level.”
Norman’s debut single is “The Cock Crows,” a French Quarter-esque rouser featuring Jamey Johnson.
