ABOUT

Hello !! I'm Nico. I'm the founding member of the Boston based Progadelic Folk Rock Band, Cactus Island. I'm currently living in Coconut Grove Miami, and I'm looking to start a new band. My music falls under the categories of Art Rock, Psychedelic, Indie, Rock, and Folk-Rock. I love to experiment and try new sounds/styles...It's really all about the feeling for me. I also like to add a spiritual component to my music, for instance, my song "Beautiful Specter" begins and ends with an OM chant!!

Samples of my work can be found at nicoavella and CactusIslandband !!

I'm Iooking forward to hearing from and Jamming with you :)
