Growing up in the Northwoods of Wisconsin might not seem like the best place to hear and learn Rock n’ Roll, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, and Roots, however music has a tendency to find individuals who are looking and willing to create it. Nick has recorded two albums (Up and Downstream and About Time), both featuring 100% original material. He has been touring for the past 15 years, playing some of the finest venues and festivals the Midwest has to offer. A Nick Foytik performance features the originality of a self-taught musician that constantly seeks ways to improve, a professionality that comes with years of traveling and practicing, and an energy that mirrors his undying love for playing music.
“Nick Foytik brings with him music deeply marinaded in blues, soul, and rock n’ roll, something not-so-common in Wisconsin’s Northwoods where Nick grew up. Expect to be delighted by his blues-y songs and finger guitar artistry.”

“Nick brings a gritty, blues-infused sound straight from the heart of the Midwest. With smooth guitar work and raw, emotional vocals, he creates the kind of performance that sticks with you long after the sun sets.”
WHTL Radio
“With sounds of bluegrass and rock ’n’ roll, Foytik’s deep voice emanates a classic, American style. Each song reminisces on melancholic chords with a bit of a lively beat, adding to the guitar riffs highlighted throughout.”
Kelly Clarkson – Volume One
“Singer/songwriter Nick Foytik took the stage at StageNorth's Live in the Lounge venue, mixing his sharp tenor vocals with strong blues guitar playing. Foytik, who has two original albums, played for three hours while sharing stories from life on the road with his original compositions and extended slide guitar riffs.”
