Nichols) comes from a deep musical pedigree; his father was a trombonist for the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra. After decades of performing with jazz greats and founding various rock outfits\, Nichols established the Camaros as a premier power trio. Known for his “restless melodicism” and soulful vocals\, Johnny Z is joined by a veteran rhythm section—typically featuring “Richie Camaro” on drums and “Stevie Camaro” on bass. Together\, they represent the “last of the live music breed\,” dedicated to preserving the raw\, spontaneous energy of the 20th-century American songbook.
