Nicky Rubin is an enigmatic songwriter whose musical influences draw from iconic heavyweights such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, U2 and Jimi Hendrix.
As a teenager running from the melancholic skies of Manchester, Nicky hitchhiked to the hills of Afghanistan, the Indian sub-continent and beyond, where he was given a beat up old guitar, resulting in his first songs being written on the streets of Tehran.
Many moons, miles, tongues, capitals, affairs, recordings and gigs later, Nicky is now based in London. A seasoned veteran of the stage, Nicky’s life has been devoted to performing his emotionally charged songs around the world.
With an engaging and fast growing fanbase (250,000+ streams in the past 12 months), keep an eye on Nicky Rubin as ‘one to watch’.

Frontier Station are a London-based folk-rock six-piece. With close-knit boy-girl harmonies, cascading guitars, a soaring violin and Springsteenian swagger, every song tells a tale. Dancing somewhere in the middle of Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac and The Cure, they swing from tender folk ballads to raucous rock ‘n’ roll all flecked in a neon 80s twist, with multi-instrumental dabbling and a taste for the theatrical.
