SEEDY ORIGINS:
Built like a lineman, born to play music. Nick Poppa has been making musical sounds since childhood, so much so that his mother could not wait for school to shove an instrument into his meaty hands.
Nick picked up the guitar because he believed it would make him cooler (it did not).
He did, however, end up liking it so much that he never stopped- to this very day, legend has it that his guitar playing can be heard from all four corners of his home at any given time… even when is not home. Nick’s boundless energy and enthusiasm for new guitar sounds and technology (2nd only to his enthusiasm for his toddler) is what drives him to hone his craft well into grossly inappropriate times of the night, ceaselessly pursuing that cool factor that deep down knows will continually elude him. His sharpened fretwork and technical ability will be his only comfort.
Nick’s favorite past time is to share sweet riffs and tasty licks to all within earshot, doing his part to spread good music and fun vibes. It is what he was born to do.
