Nick Eng: Pure pop confection from Reno

Nick Eng | Kellie Sasso

Dubbed the Paul McCartney of Reno, Nick Eng is a singer-songwriter whose work is the epitome of jangling, shimmery pop confection. His musical heart is stitched on his sleeve — for better or for worse — lyrically teetering between emotionally earnest to the cynical, biting expressions of a young man wounded by the world.

As a performer, he’s delivered his witty, nose-to-the-grindstone attitude from summer festivalsand historic theaters to rowdy hipster bars and smoke-filled cabarets up the West Coast. Eng performs on June 7 and 8 at 8:30 p.m. at Bar of America in Truckee. | nickengmusic.com
