About

Best known as the bassist for early 2000's country-rockers, the Kings County Moonshiners, Nigam Shah is a multi-instrumentalist and composer with a background in jazz, rock and country, with one foot always planted in the blues.

Born and raised in Massachusetts, Shah moved to New York City in the early 90's to study jazz at New York University with renowned bassist Mike Richmond (Stan Getz, Miles Davis). He went on to play bass in various bands in the late 90s and early 2000s, and was a founding member of the rambunctious Kings County Moonshiners, and the short-lived olde-timey nu-wav outfit, The Hot Big Bang.

Operating from his basement-studio in New Jersey, Shah's newest release, Remember Me (and other ukulele songs), features a collection of (mostly) jazz standards arranged for ukulele.
