Nick now has two new singles released on Skyline Records from a soon-to-come project that have both made it to #1 on the bluegrass airplay charts. When not touring with the trio or his own band “Nick Dumas & Branchline,” Nick teaches full time music lessons, and plays with The Fiddler’s Farm Band at home in WI.
