In a Nick of Time

It’s always good to have a fallback career. And while Nick Saxon certainly goes alright as a muso, his work as a National Geographic adventure series presenter keeps him busy. “There’s two things I really love in life,” he says on his site, “travelling and music. NatGeo is amazing. It gives me the opportunity to experience and document cultures, environments and people from around the globe. It’s what fuels my inspiration – the places, the people.” He has plenty of personal stories, too. From 2004-2006 he toured Europe, essentially playing his way across Spain, Greece, Germany and Prague. In a world of soulful surf-folk/blues/pop, he more than holds his own.
