Dwight Ritcher and Nicole Nelson make up the critically acclaimed, genre-defying band DWIGHT & NICOLE. They trace their musical roots through blues, R&B, and soul with a little roots rock, alternative, and Americana sprinkled in. On New Year’s Eve they'll take the stage at Regattabar to perform hits from their acclaimed album, “The Jaguar, The Raven, and The Snake.” Dwight & Nicole join The Culture Show ahead of their Regattabar show for a preview and in-studio performance.
