About Nick
Nicholas “Nick” Rothouse is a Dallas-based touring/studio musician specializing in world percussion. Most recently, Nicholas joined singer/songwriter Maggie Rogers for her 2024 Sheds Tour and her Today Show appearance in August, 2024. Nicholas joined songwriter/DJ/producer SG Lewis in 2022-23 for his U.S. and European tours, which included performances on the Jimmy Fallon Late Show and Coachella. Prior to that, Nicholas was the percussionist for Tom Misch for various tour dates in the U.S., Canada, Europe, South Korea, and the 2022 Fuji Rock Festival in Japan. Nicholas got his start as a touring musician in 2014, when he spent the summer in Europe with his grandfather’s Latin rock band, Tito and Tarantula. Since then, he’s toured with artists such as RC Williams (Erykah Badu, Snoop Dogg, RC & the Gritz) and seven-time Grammy winner Shaun Martin (Snarky Puppy, Kirk Franklin), in both his Gogo band and jazz quintet. In 2017, his interest in West African music led him to Ghana and Mali, where he spent one month traveling and learning from Grammy-nominated musician and Djembefola, Weedie Braimah. In addition to Braimah, Nick’s mentors include Jose Aponte, Fausto Cuevas, Frank Moka (Erykah Badu) and Luis Avila. As skillful as he is versatile, Nick is adept at playing West African, Afro-Caribbean, Brazilian, Funk, Hip Hop, and many more styles of percussion. He has performed and recorded with a multitude of established and up-and-coming acts, from jazz/funk/fusion groups like Kwinton Gray Project, Wasafiri, and Ghost-Note, Hip Hop Acts such as Cure for Paranoia and RC and the Gritz, and individual artists such as Ashleigh Smith and Dana Harper. Nick has also worked with the Dallas Theater Center for their productions of Twelfth Night and In The Heights (2019). He’s an annual fixture of Dallas’ Riverfront Jazz Festival and Snarky Puppy’s GroundUp Music Festival in Florida, where he’s also an honorary member of samba percussion community, Miamibloco. Nick studied percussion performance at the University of North Texas, where he performed and toured with the seven-time Grammy-nominated One O’Clock Lab Band. Additionally, he was a part of the Latin Jazz Lab Band, Afro-Cuban Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble and Brazilian Ensemble, among others.
