Frontiers Music Srl is proud to announce the upcoming release of JARED JAMES NICHOLS’ fourth studio album, ‘Louder Than Fate.’ Due out on June 5, 2026, this new album is easily the guitarist, singer, and songwriter’s most powerful and fully realized statement to date. 

Raw, unapologetic, and deeply rooted in the lineage of blues-driven hard rock, the album captures an artist at the peak of his creative confidence, channeling grit, groove, and soul with relentless intensity.

NICHOLS had this to say about ‘Louder Than Fate’:

“I’m beyond excited for this record. I’ve been counting down the days until its release like it’s a personal holiday. If the singles are any hint for you, there are plenty of riffs ripping through the speakers like a buzz saw. But going deeper into the record, there are tons of different emotions and sounds that I have yet to explore as a singer/songwriter. I am personally thrilled to share different shades of myself on this record, giving so much more depth and insight to the listener. Get ready for ‘Louder than Fate’. “

To celebrate the album’s announcement, JJN is sharing the latest single, “Pretend,” alongside a new music video, available to view below. About the track, he comments:

“‘Pretend’ hits like a live wire – gritty, pumping drums and guitar chugs that scream on the edge of chaos. Sometimes a relationship is all smoke, no fire; it’s just a borrowed desire.”

Produced and mixed by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Stone Sour, Amon Amarth, Skindred, and Steel Panther) with additional production by Roger Alan Nichols (Larkin Poe, Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown and Hayley Williams of Paramore), ‘Louder Than Fate’ balances muscle and melody, combining thunderous riffs, searing solos, and emotionally charged vocals with a modern, punchy production. The songs move effortlessly between hard-hitting rock anthems and more reflective, dynamic moments, showcasing NICHOLS’ ability to fuse classic influences with a contemporary edge. Tracks like “Bending or Breaking” and “Killing Time” expand the sonic palette with subtle keyboards and cinematic string arrangements, adding depth without ever sacrificing power.

Since his breakout debut, JARED JAMES NICHOLS has built a reputation as one of the most electrifying guitarists and performers of his generation. Known for his unmistakable tone, fearless playing style, and commanding stage presence, he has toured extensively across the US and Europe, sharing stages with some of the biggest names in rock and earning praise from fans and critics alike.

‘Louder Than Fate’ is not just an album — it’s a declaration. A record that speaks to resilience, conviction, and the unstoppable force of an artist who plays every note as if it truly matters. Loud, honest, and deeply human, this is JARED JAMES NICHOLS at his absolute best.

Guitar powerhouse JARED JAMES NICHOLS is proud to release his new single, “Ghost,” marking his first new music since recently signing with Frontiers Music Srl. The new track arrives accompanied by an official lyric video, available to view below.

In addition, JARED JAMES NICHOLS will be embarking on his European and UK headline tour starting November 5th in Valencia, Spain, at Loco Club and concluding December 6th in London, UK at The Underworld.

On the new single, JARED JAMES NICHOLS comments:

“‘Ghost’ was written with a very good friend of mine, Grammy-winning producer and epic guitarist Tyler Bryant. We have a synergy whenever we get together; it’s infectious, and things happen quickly. Tyler jumped behind the drums, and I started jamming the verse groove with the guitar. Within minutes, we had carved out the entire bones of the song in an old-school way of a jam.

“Lyrically speaking. ‘Ghost’ is something we can all relate to. It’s all about trying to live up to the voices inside your head, staying away from the insecurities and fear we all have running in our minds. It is about facing your fears, accepting the mind wars, and ultimately conquering them.”

He continues, “‘Ghost’ was recorded with super producer Jay Ruston at Dave Grohl’s 606 Studios in Los Angeles, California. Working with Jay is like breathing air; things come out so naturally and fresh. We share a common vision that is always hard to find when working with a producer. We put a lot of trust in each other, which means we care about nothing less than what is best for the song. As a band, our adrenaline was pumping…! Recording this song at such a legendary studio really sparked the fire and energy that you hear in the track.”

Armed with nothing more than his signature Gibson Les Paul, a cranked amp, and a microphone burning hot, JARED JAMES NICHOLS lives the Blues the way it was meant to be lived – tough by design, raw in delivery, and authentic to the core. The Wisconsin-born, Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist unleashes unapologetic rock ’n’ roll, his voice hitting with grit and soul while his fretwork roars with fire and fury.

Celebrated by American Songwriter, Guitar World, and Relix, NICHOLS has already tallied millions of streams and built a devoted following online. Gibson Guitars recognized his impact by naming him one of only four Global Brand Ambassadors worldwide – a rare honor that cements his standing as one of today’s most vital guitar slingers.

Now preparing his fourth – and most defining – album, NICHOLS calls this era “JJN Mach II.” Written and inspired by his post-pandemic touring experiences and new home base in Nashville, the record showcases his growth as a singer and songwriter, while taking his guitar playing to explosive new heights.

NICHOLS’ journey has not been without hardship: cancelled tours, collapsed labels, breakdowns on the road, even a freak accident that left him with 20 screws in his arm. Yet every challenge has only fueled his drive and deepened the legend of his self-proclaimed “Blues Power.”

With Frontiers Music Srl now by his side, JARED JAMES NICHOLS is ready to bring his uncompromising rock ’n’ roll to the world. The time has come for his name to be known in every household where true rock is alive.

The album was recorded live to analog tape at Nashville’s famed Blackbird Studios by Eddie Spear (Slash, Rival Sons & Zach Bryan) late last year. This live version was filmed and recorded during the same album sessions. Jared co-wrote the song with Dave Bassett (Shinedown, Elle King) on a series of zoom calls during lockdown.

Seymour Duncan recently released the signature JJN P90 Silencer guitar pickup. 

“This new pickup is essential to my tone,” says Jared. “It was custom voiced specifically to my tone that runs the gamut from barking dirty crunch to sparkling clean without the hum. Simply put, the Seymour Duncan Jared James Nichols P90 Silencer™ is my dream pickup.”

Jared will be making select in-store appearances to celebrate the release of the JJN P90 Silencer along the world tour routing.

Fresh off a European and UK tour supporting The Winery Dogs, singer, songwriter, guitarist, and Gibson Guitar brand ambassador Jared James Nichols is pleased to announce his “October 2023 Headline UK Tour” with special guests DeWolff.  

Planet Rock’s 48-hour ticket pre-sale starts 10am BST on Tuesday June 20 from https://planetrock.gigantic.com/jared-james-nichols-tickets. Tickets go on general sale 10am BST on Thursday June 22 from www.jaredjamesnichols.com.

Additional support on selected dates comes from British rock bands Doomsday Outlaw and Silveroller, and guitar sensation Toby Lee.

The tour announcement follows the recent release of Jared’s current single “Easy Come, Easy Go” taken from his critically acclaimed eponymous third studio album Jared James Nichols, released in January 2023.

Watch the “Easy Come, Easy Go” live performance music video on YouTube HERE.

Music News.com reviewed the single and said, “Monstrous power and pace, massive guitar work… it’s a beast!”  Rock The Joint Magazine was equally impressed by the single and said, “Upbeat and positive, Easy Come, Easy Go has a catchy feel to it. It’s a very radio friendly, commercial track.”

“Easy Come, Easy Go” is an electrifying, foot stomping, rock’n’roll animal,” reflects Jared.  “The song is unrelenting with fuzzed out guitars and a heavy groove. I have always loved the phrase easy come, easy go meaning not to dwell or live in the past. The message is to take life as it comes and live in the moment.”

Released earlier in the year by Black Hill Records, Jared’s third studio album Jared James Nichols features every side of the Nashville-based multi-talent and the various genres he grew up listening to, whether it was grunge or blues; all of which has influenced his authentic sound.

“I made a record to serve as the menu for the live show,” reflects Jared.  “There is an element of excitement and danger. It’s my version of rock ‘n’ roll with a little more humanity. The album is a day in the life with the ups and downs, but it musically rings true to who I am as an artist.”

Jared James Nichols is available on all digital music platforms, CD, and vinyl HERE.

Produced, engineered, and mixed by Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Slash, Rival Sons), the album was recorded live at Blackbird Studios and Sienna Studios in Nashville, Tennessee.

Jared first emerged onto the scene in 2015 with his debut Old Glory & The Wild Revival and followed that up with Black Magic (2018), which yielded the fan favorite “Honey Forgive Me.”  In 2021, he released the EP, Shadow Dancer.  Earlier this year he collaborated with Maggie Rose and Joe Bonamassa for revised versions of his song “Threw Me To The Wolves.”

Gibson Guitars also welcomed Nichols as an official ambassador, plotting the release of several signature Jared James Nichols guitars.  In November 2023, Gibson will release Jared’s official Epiphone Blues Power signature guitar.

Nichols has racked up millions of streams and critical acclaim and, in between show-stopping solo shows, has performed alongside icons such as Slash, Billy Gibbons, and Zakk Wylde.

Guitar World Magazine has attested, “If you’ve never witnessed Jared James Nichols onstage, let us say right now: you’re missing out, big time.” 

Singer, songwriter, guitarist, and Gibson brand ambassador Jared James Nichols announces his next single “Easy Come, Easy Go” with an accompanying live video. It is the second single from his critically acclaimed eponymous third studio album Jared James Nichols, originally released in January 2023.

“Easy Come, Easy Go” is an electrifying, foot stomping, rock and roll animal,” says Jared. “From the first note, this song is unrelenting with fuzzed out guitars and a heavy groove. I have always loved the phrase easy come, easy go meaning not to dwell or live in the past. The message is to take life as it comes and live in the moment.”

Jared James Nichols was produced, engineered, and mixed by Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Slash, Rival Sons) and recorded live at Blackbird Studios and Sienna Studios. The recording sessions occurred at a pivotal moment for Nichols, who almost never performed again as he was sidelined months earlier with a broken arm. After surgery, which left him with a plate and sixteen screws in his right arm, he pushed himself with diligence and determination to regain use of his arm and his storied guitar proficiency. 

The album kicks into high gear with the bluesy wallop of “My Delusion.” Elsewhere on the 12-track collection is the Black Sabbath-inspired “Hallelujah,” where a flurry of drums gives way to a thick and heavy battering ram of a blues riff only to crash into a rickety bass line and atomic shredding. Jared bares his soul on the emotionally charged “Out Of Time,” a heartfelt and tearful tribute to his late father.

Jared first emerged onto the scene in 2015 with his debut Old Glory & The Wild Revival and followed that up with Black Magic in 2018, which yielded the fan favorite “Honey Forgive Me.” More recently, he issued the Shadow Dancer EP (2021) and collaborated earlier this year with both Maggie Rose and Joe Bonamassa for revised versions of his song “Threw Me To The Wolves.” Gibson also welcomed Nichols as an official ambassador, plotting the release of several signature Jared James Nichols guitars.
