Nick Lenio was named Best Local Musician by the Aspen Times in 2024 and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Outstanding Music Educator in 2016.
Nick is a solo multi-instrumental performer who combines precision, creativity, and a deep musicality in his live performances.

His performances are a masterclass in timing and technique, as he delicately weaves together melodies, harmonies, and grooves. What sets Nick apart is not just the music he creates, but the experience itself. His live looping is visually striking, leaving audiences amazed at how a single artist can produce such a rich, immersive sound. It’s a unique, memorable performance that adds depth and warmth to any event or space.
Specializing in creating warm, uplifting atmospheres, Nick’s music is a perfect fit for a wide range of events, from intimate weddings and private parties to hotel and restaurant settings. His instrumental music adds a vibrant, yet polished touch, setting the ideal mood for guests to relax, celebrate, and connect. Whether you’re hosting an event or seeking to elevate the ambiance of your space, Nick's live performances offer a memorable, enjoyable experience for all.
Nick is also a long time music educator who taught public school music for 13 years in schools in Pennsylvania and Colorado. He currently serves as Director of Instruction for Lead Guitar, a national non-profit organization that establishes free, in-school guitar classes in under-resourced schools around the country.
