In 2006 Nicki was heard singing by Tim Bluhm, singer of The Mother Hips. He offered to help her record in his home studio, Pacific Dust, in San Francisco, and in the course of making the record the two dated and married. Nicki began performing in San Francisco with guitarist Deren Ney, a friend from grade school, at night as she worked on the album. That debut, "Toby's Song" (Little Knickers, 2008),featured an ad hoc studio band including Ney, singer/songwriter Jackie Greene (Jackie Greene Band, Phil Lesh and Friends, The Black Crowes) and ALO's Steve Adams (bass) and The Mother Hips' John Hofer (drums).
