Биография

Jeb Loy Nichols is a musician, writer and artist who has, for the past twenty years, lived on a remote smallholding in the Welsh hills. Born in Wyoming and raised in Missouri, he went to New York City at the age of seventeen where he worked in a record store and fell in love with the emerging hip-hop culture. In the early 1980s he moved to London where he shared a squat with Ari Up from The Slits and made the acquaintance of Adrian Sherwood, at that time starting his record label On-U Sound. Jeb Loy (with his then backing band the Oil Wells) contributed a track to early On-U Sound compilation Wild Paarty Sounds, and twenty-nine years later (!) finally made his first album for the label, the country-reggae hybrid Long Time Traveller, described by one writer as "like Lee Hazlewood if he'd made an album with The Wailers”. In the 1990s he formed the country-dub band Fellow Travellers, who recorded five CDs and toured extensively in Germany. He has since gone on to record fifteen solo records, his most recent album Jeb Loy was released by Finnish soul label Timmion in 2021. He has also published three novels and exhibited his distinctive woodcut artwork internationally.
