Nico Wind - 1980

Nico is from Portland Oregon and has a rich history here in her home town but in 1980 moved to Seattle to stretch her wings and ended up hitting the road hard core for more than 20 years. 

Nico also was part of the 1981 Ray Charles tour as a solo opening act, She opened for BB King, Beau Kelly, and then leading her 8 to 13 piece bands she opened for Roger Fisher band, Rail, Joan Jet, Ronnie Lee, headlining with the Coasters, Sam Butera, Society of 7, and many other national and semi national groups with the diversity of no other in her time. 

From hard rock to back porch blues and soul Nico was able to do it all.
