Nick Sherman - Made Of (2019)

When he was young, Thunder Bay based singer-songwriter and guitarist Nick Sherman’s grandfather would pick him up in the wee hours from his parents’ place in Sioux Lookout and drive up the winter highway to North Caribou Lake First Nation. It was there that Nick accompanied his grandfather while he tended to his trap-line – and also where he heard his grandfather sing and play guitar. Nearly three decades later, the spirit of those times informs Nick’s own music. Nick releases his third album, Made Of. “‘Made Of’ was inspired by stories from my uncle on some traumatic experience he had and how he has used his experiences as motivation instead of barriers,” Nick said. “It’s really about knowing what you’re made of because of the things we all go through in life.”
