Nick Blaemire and the Hustle Play Rockwood Music Hall, 12/17

9-piece R&B/Pop band Nick Blaemire and the Hustle returns to Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 for an evening of holiday songs, re-invisioned in their signature "nerd soul" style. Expect hits like "This Christmas," "What Christmas Means to Me" and "All I Want for Christmas is You," as well as a few original holiday tunes written for the occasion.

The Hustle has been selling out venues across the country, from New York staples like The Studio at Webster Hall, Mercury Lounge and the Knitting Factory, to the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles. They also recently released a video for their first single, "Complete," available on their website, www.nickblaemireandthehustle.com.

Blaemire, also an actor, recently guest starred on the CBS drama "The Good Wife," and met his collaborator/arranger Jesse Vargas while composing the short-lived Broadway rock musical GLORY DAYS which played the Circle in the Square Theatre in 2008.
