Cold River by Nicki Cummins


Nicki Cummins is an emerging artist from Kilkenny city who has been playing and writing songs for many years. She previously played in the band ‘Vickers Vimy’ before eventually taking her own path. Fintan Hanley of Vickers Vimy has produced this single. Cold River is due to be released on October 16th.

‘Cold River’ is the debut single by Nicki Cummins.

It envelopes themes of Life, Love and Death.

Romantic, platonic and familiar love.

It also encompasses grief for Our Earth that we live, love and die on.

The constant of what our earth has been, and seems no longer is.

This song is about the feeling I/We let it Happen’.

Mary Greene of Greenshine, the wonderful and inspiring Irish trio said of Cold River;

“What a beautiful and atmospheric song ‘Cold River’ is and a stunning debut by Nicki Cummins. The vocals are superb and the production by Fintan Hanley of Vickers Vimy perfectly captures the other-worldly atmosphere of the song.

‘Cold River’ draws you in and invites repeated listens.”
