The Vital Hive

Nic continues to have the joy and pleasure of making music with dear friends. This is the first album that has come through our community. Read what we have to say here, excerpted from The Vital Hive’s Website:

“The Vital Hive musical collaborative formed in 2024 from a simple yet powerful desire—to gather with friends and write songs worth singing. Songs that move us. Songs that are easy to sing along to. Songs that break old spells and help us embody new ways of being. We believe that singing and dancing are our birthright, and that sharing music in community is one of the most potent forms of medicine we have.”
