On episode 217 of March Forth with Mike Bauman, Mike chats with John Nicholson of E.Y.E. Productions!
Having grown up in Nashville most of his life, John is classically trained in theater/music and the Performing Arts, in addition to a background in communications, radio, and television. When he came back to the Music City after some time away, a Tears for Fears cover show that he attended helped plant the seed for John to create a sense of community within the Nashville music scene and give back.
With his E.Y.E. Productions imprint (Everything You Ever Productions), John helps put on themed shows in Nashville which also give back to various charitable and non-profit organizations. Featuring an array of artists and talent within the local music scene performing cover songs, E.Y.E. Productions events over the years have included New Wave Prom Night (80s hits), The Halloween Ball (Halloween classics), and THE VOID (industrial, alternative, and nü-metal).
Additionally, John fronts the Nashville-based Nine Inch Nails tribute band Not Your Nails, the Korn tribute band Karrot, performs as The Nashville Krampus, and is part of the East Nashville Clowns.
On Saturday, August 1st, E.Y.E. Productions is putting on another addition of THE VOID at Eastside Bowl in Nashville. Featuring Not Your Nails performing "Broken" in its entirety, this addition of THE VOID will also feature other Nashville talent performing covers from the likes of Slipknot, Tool, Poppy, Type O Negative, and Depeche Mode, among others. The event will raise money for MusiCares, a non-profit which helps musicians.
In this episode, John talks with Mike about how he got into music and the performing arts, having a supportive family that fostered creativity and giving back, creating E.Y.E. Productions, building a sense of community in the local Nashville music scene, some of his favorite vinyl albums, 80s TV and movies, and more.
