ABOUT ROGER ALAN NICHOLS

From 1981 to 1989, Roger Alan Nichols toured the 50 United States and Canada professionally as a guitarist, with multiple rock bands. During a brief stint in Atlanta, he attended the Art Institute and continued doing sessions and performing with regional acts.  Nichols then moved to Nashville and formed the alternative rock band, Dreaming In English. The band toured the Southeast, gaining a large fan base before releasing their debut album, “Stuff,” in 1998 to critical acclaim.  Shortly thereafter, Nichols signed a publishing deal as a writer with Acuff-Rose/Idea Music. Through this publishing deal, he started producing and engineering his own demos. Eventually he established his own studio where he began producing and writing with, and for, other artists.

As a multi-instrumentalist, Nichols has written and produced tracks for Showtime, HBO, MTV, Spike TV as well as all 3 major networks. His diverse playing and producing skills were showcased in the trailer music for Mission Impossible III’s national TV campaign and most recently he composed the music for “Bluebird,” a documentary on the legendary Nashville venue where numerous songwriters have advanced their careers.

Nichols currently maintains Bell Tone Recording in Nashville. He produced, engineered and mixed the 2024 GRAMMY® Nominated record "Life Don't Miss Nobody", Tracy Nelson (Album of the Year - Traditional Blues) as well as the GRAMMY® Nominated and GRAMMY® winning albums by Larkin Poe, 2019 "Venom and Faith" (Engineer and Mixer) and the 2024 "Blood Harmony" (Engineer).
