🎸 FEATURED PERFORMER – NICKY T & THE SNAKE CHARMERS
Straight from the legendary Detroit blues scene, Nicky T and The Snake Charmers bring authentic, hard-hitting blues that's impossible to ignore.
Born in Toronto but raised in Detroit, frontman Nicholas "Nicky T" Tabarias immersed himself in one of the world's most respected blues communities. He spent seven years performing with Michigan's longest-running blues band, The Alligators - Detroit Blues Society Lifetime Achievement Award recipients—where he developed the signature style and tight ensemble groove that define his sound today.
When it was time to launch his own band, Nicky recruited former members of The Alligators, creating The Snake Charmers and bringing decades of Detroit blues experience to every performance. Their sophomore album, Ain't Wasting Time, is available on streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and more.
