CALICO was formed in 1999 with the intention of being a professional and exciting line dance band with a modern, punchy, driving sound. Having the right blend of personalities has proven paramount to the band's success….
Nikky Napier is the founder member of CALICO . She has progressed from pop and rock to bring her powerful voice to country music.
Nikky's talent and determination for CALICO to be a top class dance act steered her into learning songs in other languages such as the renowned 'Ciago Sordomonda' (Shakatak) etc.
Her hard work and dedication in both live and recording sessions has earned her the respect of everyone that works with her.

Brian "Shanks" has played most styles of music over many years in the highest company, having supported both Elton John and Eric Clapton. He played on the Sarah Brightman and Hot Gossip number one hits. He has also appeared on many TV shows in Britain and Europe,
