The Carrot Friday Nite Live presents Nick Guiton – October 24

🎶 Live music starts at 7:00 pm | $10 Cover | Youth (12 & under) $5 | All Ages 🎶

Nick Guiton is a talented singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, whose music blends a variety of genres, including Roots, Blues, Americana, and Alt-Country. Drawing from the timeless sounds of musical icons like John Hiatt, Bruce Springsteen, Townes Van Zandt, and Otis Taylor, Nick has carved out a distinctive sound that’s both reflective and raw. With lyrics that touch on the joys, struggles, and uncertainties of life, Nick’s music is relatable, offering connection to audiences from all walks of life. Nick’s journey in music began at a young age, experimenting with a Bontempi reed organ at just four years old. From there, he immersed himself in a wide range of musical influences, and his career evolved through numerous projects. Each of these endeavours showcased his versatility as an artist, from the alt-country sound of High Level Bridge to the gritty roots of No Dogs Barking and the high-energy performances of Friction Unlimited. However, it wasn’t until a near-fatal accident that Nick’s true resilience was tested. The accident threatened his ability to play and perform, but Nick’s love for music and his unwavering dedication to his craft saw him push through the recovery process. Emerging with a unique finger-picking guitar style, Nick adapted and refocused his efforts on a solo career. This transition not only deepened his artistry but also solidified his commitment to music as both a personal and creative lifeline.

In 2024, Nick released his first EP, The Sunburnt EP, which was recorded at the legendary Sun Studios. The release marked a major milestone in his career, showcasing his growth as a solo artist and his ability to produce a collection of songs that speak to both the soul and the heart.

🎶 Live music starts at 7:00 pm | $10 Cover | Youth (12 & under) $5 | All Ages 🎶

Gary Wayne Myers might play one of his indie-rock songs one minute, an alt-country tearjerker the next (G.W.’s tune, “World’s Largest Teardrop” was on the radio in 2025 when CKUA’s “This Just In” gave it a spin). He’ll sometimes play a guitar instrumental, having studied the Hawaiian slack key style with renowned slack key guitarists. He tries to keep his live-music sets “the right ratio of spaghetti to meatballs” by playing a classic-country cover after a G.W. original like, “do-re-mi-fa-SO-LA-POW-ER”.
