I Am Hologram

Greetings, my name is Richard Nihil. I am a traveling musician & Army Veteran who has been endlessly wandering the country living primarily out of my van, since losing my corporate job in March 2021. During that time, I have traveled 100k+ miles, to 47 states by land, sea & air. I have also performed at many diverse venues including big festivals, breweries, wineries, dive bars, VFW’s, a Moose Lodge, Barns, backyards, rooftops, hostels in the forest, etc.

There is no way to describe my acoustic shows with words or to tell you what genre I am. My own music is Folk, Rock, Country, Blues, New Wave, Grunge, Punk, Jazz. The songs I cover are the songs that find me through my travels. Whatever the crowd is, I can usually find songs they enjoy. 90% of the places I play ask me to return.
My fees depend on day of the week & your budget. On off nights (Not weekends) I have played for meals.

Below are some audio & visual examples of what I do

"Richard, I Am Hologram, is one of the most diverse, authentic, and creative musicians I have met and hired. After 25 years in the music industry, I am continually impressed by his performances and growth as a musician. He reliably works with our brewery to customize sets to fit a mood, holiday, or particular audience. If you communicate what you're looking for in musical entertainment, Richard always delivers."

Seven Commercials For My Soul is the latest album from I Am Hologram. This record showcases the vast diversity in I Am Hologram’s influences. Classic Rock, Blues, Reggae, Funk & more. Memento Mori is the first single. Listen below

Below are examples from my Country/Folk/Rock which was released on the first full moon of 2023

For special occasions, I have put cover bands together.
Below are examples from my Pearl Jam & Nirvana cover bands. Most recently, some friends & I have started a Tool cover band as well.

Scene Mom is my friend Dani Cutler, formerly of KWSS radio in Phoenix, Arizona. She's been helping me get my marketing together for my next album, "Seven Commercials For My Soul". She just started a podcast you can find on Podbean or Spotify. She played "Memento Mori" the first track from the new record. Go listen to the podcast, episode 6, hear some other cool bands. You can also hear the song on my website under the music tab. About to head south for the weekend.

Nerdvana makes another appearance on April 5th. Go check the website for details. Why should you go to an artists website? I've been on this stupid app for 10+ years. I have grown my account organically. I have tried every bit of social media advice and despite having over 2k followers, idiotgram puts my stuff in front of 50 of those accounts and 6 people like my photo. However, my Facebook cross post out performs IG 10 to 1. Why social media? Why are we promoting a huge corporation that sells our every byte of information? Enough is enough with this BS social media. Artists!!! Go get your website going with updated content. Fans!!! Please support businesses and artists directly from their website. If you don't change your internet habits, the algorithm will continue programming you with what it wants you to see. Not necessarily what you want to see.

This weekend, I'll be in Bisbee. 2 appearances on Saturday only. 1pm at Genes Place & 7pm at the Room 4 Bar in the Silver King Hotel.

Kind of exactly how my life feels right now. I always love catching the sunset from the parking lot of Bone Haus. I make noise at 6pm. Tomorrow night I'm over at Tap Dragon
