The first song he wrote was titled “Jay” an ode to his late Grandfather. Nick is quoted by saying “when the cords finally came together with the lyrics for the first time it brought me to tears and I knew this was something that  I could passionately pursue”.  Nick writes songs about love, life experiences and hardships we all face in the day to day grind. You can’t really put a label on the genre he resides in.  Nick dives into to a few different genres such as Blues, Country, Rock and Folk music. For the last few years Nick has been tearing up the local scene in Western North Carolina with his band Nick Mac & The Noise that has the reputation of being a smooth playing, good time chasing high energy rocking country band that brings a good mix of originals and eclectic covers to the table
