​​"He bills his music as 'hot-rod rockabilly' and has the chops to back it up" - Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

Nicholas Campbell is a 21-year-old rockabilly phenom based in Toronto, Ontario. A true purveyor of the old school rule, Campbell backed by his band The Metre Cheaters have released three full length albums filled to the brim with authentic originality and ace musicianship, with the most recent - 2026’s People Like To Talk.

Campbells testament to roots music has seen him blossom throughout the Canadian music industry and has garnered him a reputation as ‘the real deal’. Having already shared stages with the likes of Blue Rodeo, Slim Jim Phantom of The Stray Cats, Chris Spedding and Marshall Crenshaw among others, Campbell shows no signs of slowing down - as he and The Metre Cheaters blaze an invigorating 200 show-a-year schedule. Highlights in 2026 include a March residency at the legendary Horseshoe Tavern, a brand new album release, and multiple national tours throughout the year.
