The Jaguar, The Raven, and The Snake
TESTIMONIALS
"Sometimes musicians who write and record together have a chemistry that is undeniable and authentic, and the resulting music has that extra something special that makes listeners sit up and take notice. Husband-and-wife-led band Dwight + Nicole is the perfect example of this type of kismet – when they create music together, something marvelous and magnetic happens. Their new album, 'The Jaguar, The Raven & The Snake,' displays this full force, and the group just gave the album the deluxe edition treatment. They’re a little bit bluesy, a little bit R&B/soul driven, with sprinkles of Americana and roots on top and a classic/vintage vibe with rock and even pop touches, making for a genre-bending listening experience of the best sort."

"The best music doesn’t just sound great, but it also gives you an emotional lift, hitting in just the right place to soothe, comfort, or inspire. That is exactly what the music of Burlington, VT-based band Dwight + Nicole does. Listening to their latest release, 'The Jaguar, The Raven & The Snake Deluxe Edition,' is an aural ride of a wonderful kind – their exploration of emotions is a beautiful thing to behold, with moving, lyrical stories. The music itself is top-notch and borrows from many genres, creating a mix that incorporates Americana, vintage rock, blues, R&B, soul, and more."

Review - The Jaguar, The Raven, and The Snake (deluxe), August 2024
"The song hits out of the gate with a dose of rich soulful vocals courtesy of Nicole Nelson before the harmonies start following into place in a way that brings to mind the big band sound of Tedeschi Trucks Band. The song finds the group embracing the idea of letting go but putting a positive spin on it that is brimming with Memphis-style soul and funky guitars, a thumping groove, and warm vibes to give this tune a big embrace for the listener."
