Jared James Nichols is an American blues-rock guitarist and singer born on March 14, 1989, in East Troy, Wisconsin. He is known for his high-energy "pick-less" electric guitar playing technique. Nichols often performs with his signature single-pickup Epiphone Les Paul Custom P90, called Old Glory, or a vintage 1953 Gibson Les Paul, nicknamed Ole Red. He leads a power trio that draws influence from early 1970s hard rock bands such as Cream and Mountain. Nichols resides in Nashville, Tennessee.
