For those unaware, Nick Biello’s third release, New America (out June 20th, 2025 via La Reserve Records), highlights an artist coming into his maturity, both as an instrumentalist and a composer.

New America weaves a collection of personal tales from Nick’s own life with the greater narrative of social and political upheaval that the collective consciousness of America is facing.

Nick has shared the stage with world-class artists, such as Slide Hampton, Cedar Walton, the Jimmy Heath Big Band, and John Benitez. He has performed at the Pescara and Bussi Jazz Festivals in Italy, as well as the Taipei and Taichung Jazz Festivals in Taiwan, and other festivals across the globe.

Nick’s saxophone has been heard in notable NYC venues such as Birdland, Blue Note, Dizzy’s, Lincoln Center, Cellar Dog, Smalls, Mezzrow, Smoke, Zinc Bar, The Kitano, Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater, and Sony Hall.
