Contest: Nicole Atkins @ Independent

When we first mentioned Nicole Atkins, back in October, we genuinely loved her unique sound calling it "...an incredibly beautiful masterpiece of songwriting and story-telling." Almost six months later, we still agree with our initial reaction - if anything, it's grown on us even more. Our friends over at Noise: SFBG are totally into her as well. "There's always room for more melodrama in my life - just as long as it's strictly of the musical variety - and lucky me, new discovery Nicole Atkins is making everything pretty blood-and-thunder in my house, thank you very much." Watch the video of "The Way It Is" here or listen to "Party's Over" here.

Last time, we gave away a copy of her debut release, "Neptune City," but this time, one lucky winner will win a spot (with a +1) on Atkin's guest list for Monday night's concert at The Independent. Doors open at 7:30pm and the show starts with The Parlor Mob, another New Jersey band, at 8pm. Of course, if you don't win, you can buy tickets here - they are only $12 in advance and $14 at the door.
