Harmonica Blues

Overview

I play and sing a mix of jazz and blues and "The Great American Songbook ". My band also plays Bossa Nova (I lived and played in Brazil for 12 years), and also some rock and pop. I played piano and harmonica for years with Buddy Guy and have played and toured internationally. Our band is an authentic, very experienced group of fine musicians. We play a sophisticated, swinging, accessible, vocal style of blues and jazz and play regularly at some of the best jazz and blues clubs in Chicago, and throughout the world! I am also an accomplished solo piano player and singer.

The piano man!

Donny Nichilo - and his cool band - are simply great. I have seen him at Le Piano as well as the Glenwood Street Fair this summer and have thoroughly enjoy his renditions of blues, jazz and old standards. Definitely something for everyone.

Donny Nichilo is magnificent!

I have heard Donny and his band play at many venues in the Chicagoland area, most notably, "Le Piano," which is considered one of Chicago's finest jazz clubs. Donny is an excellent musician and singer, and his band is amazing as well! They play a nice mix of jazz, blues, and swinging standards. I hired the band for my son's wedding, and everyone loved them. I highly recommend Donny Nichilo and his band!
