Music has been part of Nick's life since he was an adorable choirboy in New York City almost fifty years ago. For the past eleven years, he has hosted the weekly FOLK REVIVAL program on Worcester Public Radio (WICN), celebrating the great folk music of the past while passionately supporting local musicians today. In 2015 Nick won the Pulse Magazine Worcester Music Award as best DJ in Central Massachusetts (he has, to date, been nominated 7 times). On October 12, 2017, he celebrated his 500th show with a four-hour-plus live broadcast before a studio audience featuring two dozen local New England artists. An educator for 35 years (he taught history to students in grades 6-12 for 28 years and is currently working in the Communications Office at his alma mater, St. Mark's School in Massachusetts), Nick is the author of seven books-- all on historical subjects-- including "NUMBER #1"  a journey through folk music history (Outskirts Press 2009). Nick also enjoys performing, both as a solo artist and with his ‘faux band”—Wolfpen—at a variety of venues, as well as working at various folk festivals in the summer and fall. He particularly loves to lead audiences in singing, making them honorary members of Wolfpen.
