Clint Niosi is a multi award nominated singer, songwriter, guitarist and national touring artist with a hard earned reputation as one the premiere voices of North Texas. With a sly literary wit and healthy helpings of humor and drama Clint’s songs are meditations best savored and explored through repeated listening expeditions. Drawing from a rich tradition of songwriters including Leonard Cohen, Robyn Hitchcock and Nick Drake Clint continually pushes against the grain and status quo in search of unfamiliar sonic and lyrical terrain. Clint Niosi has shared the stage with many acclaimed artists including VietNam, Chris Masterson (of Son Volt), Jana Hunter, The Republic Tigers, The Lovely Sparrows, The Theater Fire, The Weird Weeds and Musée Mécanique. In 2008 Clint Niosi released his ambitious debut album The Sound of Dead Horses Beaten Against Cold Shoulders. The Sound of Dead Horses Beaten Against Cold Shoulders was listed as one of the top 20 Texas albums of 2008 by the Star Telegram, received an honorable mention as one of the top albums of 2008 by QuickDFW, and received a nomination for “Album of the Year” from Fort Worth Weekly. In 2008 Clint was nominated for “Best Alternative Country” by the Fort Worth Weekly. In 2009 Clint was nominated for “Big Solo Artist” by QuickDFW. Also in 2009 Clint was nominated for four awards by the Fort Worth Weekly including “Best Folk/Acoustic”, “Best Songwriter”, “Song of the Year” for My Mephistophilis and “Album of the Year” for The Sound of Dead Horses Beaten Against Cold Shoulders. Currently Clint is recording the highly anticipated follow up to 2008’s The Sound of Dead Horses Beaten Against Cold Shoulders with producer James Talambas (The Theater Fire) for a 2010 release. Clint is also scoring the music for the film Hot/Cold from award winning director Frank Mosley. What others are saying: “Fort Worth singer mixes his literary lyrics with rootsy arrangments. From finger-pickin’ folk to bluesy ballads.” QuickDFW “…lived-in lyrics and haunting, folky compositions” Fort Worth Star Telegram “Niosi’s cerebral lyrics also frequently hit you square in the heart.” Dallas Observer “His tunes are epic. Minimalist but totally sweeping.” Fort Worth Weekly “A real natural behind the mic and on the guitar.” Adventures in Live Music “Clint Niosi seems to be quite decent” We Shot Jr “An agile fingerstyle guitarist” I Love Ftw “Clint Niosi=Awesome” The Fine Line
