Nick Houseman

Vocals / Guitar

When I was 20, I decided to take up the guitar. I guess it took until then to find the patience, although I should have started much sooner. I took 3 months of lessons at the now defunct Beerman’s Music House in Muskegon, MI, but then decided I had a pretty good knack for teaching myself.

My dad Doug (who is also in the “Big House Blues Band”), and my cousin Chris – both good guitarists - were big influences. Both have taught me a lot. Other guitarists that have influenced me are, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Steve Vai, just to name a few.

My first experience in a band was with a 5-piece band named “M.M.G.”, formed in 2002. My father was also in this band, which played the blues and blues-rock. We played a number of gigs including the regional stage at Muskegon’s Summer Celebration in 2003.

My 2 favorite styles of music to play are the blues, and rock. My guitar of choice is my sunburst Fender Stratocaster.

My goal is to do my part to make the Big House Blues Band the best musically that we can be.
