He is rarely seen without playing his "signature" single-pickup Epiphone Les Paul Custom nick-named Old Glory. He fronts a power trio under his name, rooted in the early 1970s hard-rock vein of Cream and Mountain. He resides in Los Angeles, California.

Career

Nichols moved to Los Angeles in 2010. He quickly gained momentum by winning the prestigious Gibson Les Paul Tribute Contest as well as the Musicians Institute Most Outstanding Player Award. He formed his own trio shortly thereafter and released a 3-song EP Live at the Viper Room.

After this release, Nichols toured America and played various clubs/festivals including Sturgis Buffalo Chip, SXSW, Summerfest, and more. It was during this time he opened for Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ TOP. In Spring 2014, he embarked on a 2-month European Tour which proved to be successful, resulting in 2015 full length release Old Glory & The Wild Revival recorded with producers Warren Huart and the legendary Eddie Kramer.

In early 2016 Music Radar named Jared as one of the "Top Upcoming Guitar Players in the World".

In spring of 2016 Jared was featured in a "mini-doc" series UNCHARTED by Honda and UPROXX about his guitar playing and determination to further himself in the music industry. The documentary went viral online, resulting in over 7 million views within one month of its premier.

He has also recorded at historic studios such as Abbey Road, Sunset Sound, East-West, Swinghouse, and Dave Grohl's Studio 606.

Nichols has toured across America and Europe with acts including Glenn Hughes, Zakk Wylde, Walter Trout, UFO, Saxon, Fozzy, L.A. Guns and Blue Öyster Cult.

His second full-length album Black Magic was released January 2018 and has gained powerful acclaim from guitar, classic rock and blues fans worldwide.
