Performer Description

Nick Spear and Susan O’Dea live in two completely different worlds. She’s Urban, he’s Rural. She’s Millennial, he’s GenX. She’s a kale chicken caesar, he’s last night’s cold pizza. But when they sing together, they are undeniably aligned. Two things that shouldn’t work actually do, and the connection point for them has always been harmony.

Showcase Description

Big Sky City Lights delivers an intimate evening of song and story, featuring modern songs and soaring originals infused with lush, soul-stirring harmonies. New York City's Susan O'Dea and Montana's Nick Spear have a sound that blends city skylines with mile-high mountaintops, and together they weave a sonic tapestry that stays with audiences long after the last note ends. Heartfelt, at times funny, and always remarkable, Big Sky City Lights is a tour de force that is not to be missed.
“With a shared passion, Big Sky City Lights are emblematic of the state of Montana.” - Good Morning America
