This is a short list. As per usual, artists in BOLD, I have seen multiple times. Seems to be quite a few of them on this list.
Nahko Bear
Nanci Griffith
Nat Meyers
Nathaniel Rateliff and The Nightsweats-Last time I saw them with St. Paul and The Broken Bones this year, I was non-plussed. Paul Janeway and his band knocked them out of the park.
National
Neal Casal-What a fabulous guitarist Neal was. Never saw him solo, but he played in The Cardinals who backed up Ryan Adams. Some of those shows were transcendent.
He also was in The Chris Robinson Brotherhood and was always a thrill to hear him play.
May he rest in peace and he will always be with us when we listen to his songs and guitar wizardry.
Neil Finn
Neil Young-Whether it be The Buffalo Springfield or CSNY or Crazy Horse or The International Harvesters, etc. Neil is my co-pilot. I probably listen to Neil as much as I listen to The Grateful Dead.
Neko Case
Neneh Cherry
Neville Brothers
New Birth Brass Band
New Lost City Ramblers
New Order
Ngaiire
Nick Barker
Nick Cave-His recorded work is not listened to much, but I will almost always go to see him live. If you get the chance, GO!
Nick Lowe-Lucky enough to see Nick with his Cowboy Outfit, Rockpile, Los Straightjackets, and on tour with Elvis Costello. Nick is cool.
Nicky Bomba
Nicky Hopkins
Nikki Hill
Nikki Lane
Nils Lofgren
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band-Saw them once at State University of New York-Stony Brook in the gymnasium. The first act was this comedian with a white suit and a banjo and balloons, it was Steve Martin.
When Steve finished, Loudon Wainwright III played a lengthy set.
The NGDB was amazing and played for hours.
No Fixed Address
Noel Gallagher
Norman Blake
North Mississippi Allstars-The best little jam band to come out of Mississippi.
Norton Buffalo
NRBQ-In their prime, NRBQ was known as the best bar band on the East Coast of America. It was always a blast and too much fun, something I have never had.
New Riders Of The Purple Sage-Cosmic Cowboys from the West Coast. Buddy Cage on pedal steel was a phenom and this was another act I saw finish shows at The Academy Of Music in NYC as the sun came up.
New York Dolls-I got a personality crisis….
