About FJ Nanic

Faćo’s work is original contemporary acoustic ballads informed by years of travel and a life “lived out loud.” His songs and melodies are enriched with his personal history, from the gypsy music of his childhood in Sarajevo through to the early influence of folks like Jimi Hendrix, Santana, with a little Keb Mo and a bit of Jazz and Flamenco thrown in. His work is accessible but rich, resonating with people who enjoy musicians like Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, or Jose Feliciano.

Faćo’s original music is known for his combination of powerful, resonant vocals, masterful guitarwork, lyrics that haunt you and melodies that draw on his depth of international experience and resources. It’s the blues, but you can feel the seasoning from wide spread and spicey influences His work is catchy to listen to the first time through and it stays interesting with repetition. While Faćo’s work is nuanced with the European background, his foundation is in the roots of rock and roll and blues—you sit up and take notice, you just can’t help yourself: it’s that kind of sound.


Faćo has performed throughout Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, in venues from the Casablanca in Vienna to street corners in Holland to back porches in Mississippi. He lived for 5 years in Paris, where he played with the multi-national band “The Lost Brothers”. Currently he divides his time between tours in Australia and time with his family in Portland, Oregon.

“Powerful, dynamic stuff with a sweetly plucked guitar…polished vibe, swingin’ tunes.” Jules Makk, South East Coordinator for Wax Lyrical, Queensland Australia

“(expired link). Nanic has a full and deep voice that is a bit reminiscent of Leon Russell and Van Morrison” Graham Way, Tandem Music, Vancouver, BC Canada

“I remember the first time I heard him sing. It just kind of wakes you up…there’s this quality of roughness, a rough soul…it’s powerful stuff.”
Owen Duffy, proprietor Owen’s Place, Lake Grove Oregon, USA
