City of Pines Official

City of Pines is an indie folk-pop-rock project. Our songs live somewhere between adventure and nostalgia. We craft music for those drawn to adventure, deep connection, and the raw beauty of life.

The project first came to life while recording demos in a friend’s cabin on Camano Island. But the real turning point came after Nick returned from living overseas and decided to fully give himself to the music. That led to our first big win: Letting Go took home a Best Music Video award and helped carry the music further.

Since then, we’ve played festivals like Atlas Weekend, Bite of Seattle, Moscow Mountain Music Festival, and opened for G Love at The Crocodile.

Today, the music has reached over 1.7M streams on Spotify, 265K+ views on YouTube, and 115K+ listens on Apple Music.
Our most loved songs? Letting Go, Tryin, and Needy Lovers - songs that seem to land right where people are.

City of Pines is about connection. Stick around and join us.

Last night’s show at @jazzbonestacoma with @mediahouse.band and @matthewanimal. We got to support All Youth Can Eat and Nourish Pierce County - two causes making sure kids and families don’t go hungry. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up and rallied behind work that makes a difference 🤝.

The last few months have been exciting and hectic. Fun shows, two music video shoots and a lot of positive vibes from so many people. It’s tiring but in the best way. We’ve got a lot more in store & I’m very grateful to all who have helped along the way.
