About this concert
Join us as we celebrate the 5th Anniversary of my iconic album 'Voice = Power' !
"Somewhere between Charles Mingus and Johnny Greenwood there is a sound that bassist/composer Nicholas Krolak seeks."
"A young veteran of the Philadelphia music scene. He has spent the last decade working as a side-man, experiencing new styles, and studying with the masters. Now, he has taken all he has learned and is applying it to his own artistic adventures."
"Tracing the lineage of bebop into the contemporary, while constantly balancing the pulse of the city and the mysticism of nature: he has been described as…"
“a different kind of songwriter—perhaps a different kind of jazz musician altogether. He’s like the bass playing, modern embodiment of Walt Whitman. And, just as Whitman used his prose poems, Krolak uses his music to celebrate and also reconcile the competing and contradictory nature of the two worlds he straddles: the natural and the urban."

====================================================================
Can you BELIEVE it's been FIVE years already ?!
In 2020, my sophomore album Voice = Power was released into the world and my life changed FOREVER …
The album was NOT an instant success … in fact, it was total a flop … lost in the void that was the pandemic … HOWEVER, 5 years later, it has become a cult classic … and is probably (whether you realize it or not) a BIG reason why you are even considering coming to one of my shows !
To celebrate this historic anniversary, I would absolutely LOVE it if you joined me and my INCREDIBLE band at Black Squirrel Club in FISHTOWN … it is my FAVORITE venue on the planet … and for TWO NIGHTS ONLY we are going to honor the music of Voice = Power !
The good news ?
YOU are INVITED to this ONCE IN A LIFETIME EVENT !
The bad news ?
SPACE is LIMITED !
My last show at Black Squirrel Club SOLD OUT in a week and I’d hate for you to miss it … who knows ? ... it might just be another FIVE YEARS before I play this music again ...

Nicholas Krolak Biography
Genre fluid improvised music for fellow sonic adventurers ...
hi, Nicholas Krolak here ... I am a FIERCELY independent bassist/composer from Philadelphia.
I explore sounds, genres, textures, and rhythms without dogmatic attachments ... I improvise when I feel like it and compose when the muses tell me to ...
I thumb my nose at the music industry and tell the gatekeepers where they can shove it ... I create music for the listeners ... NOT for the critics !
Come to one of my shows and experience the journey :)
