“One of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years. — New York Times
Hailed by The New Yorker as “one of the most brilliant singer-songwriters of the past 30 years” and praised by The New York Times as “one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene,” Willie Nile has carved a career as a true American rock ’n’ roll original.
His albums have earned international acclaim: Streets of New York was called “a platter for the ages” by The Innocent Ones was named one of Rolling Stone’s “Top Ten Best Under-The-Radar Albums,” and his American Ride won “Best Rock Album of the Year” at the Independent Music Awards. Nile’s Dylan tribute Positively Bob was hailed as “one of the best Dylan tribute albums ever made,” while Children of Paradise and New York At Night drew raves from the Associated Press and Downbeat. His most recent live release, Live at Daryl’s House Club (2024), was listed as one of the “Best Rock Albums of the Year” by Classic Rock Magazine.
Nile’s live shows are legendary. He has toured with The Who, sung with Bruce Springsteen and Ringo Starr, and earned the admiration of peers like Bono, Pete Townshend, Lucinda Williams, and Lou Reed. The London Times called him “a man who embodies the true spirit of rock ’n’ roll.”
With his upcoming studio album The Great Yellow Light arriving in 2025, Willie Nile continues to deliver fiery, guitar-driven anthems and poetic ballads that reaffirm his standing as one of rock’s most vital voices.
