Brothers Will and Reid Nichols, the duo behind 12/OC, call themselves a “dynamic duo”—and it’s easy to see why. What began as two kids jamming on guitars in their Portland, Maine kitchen has grown into something much bigger than they ever imagined. With tight harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and undeniable energy, they’ve been lighting up stages across New England and turning heads wherever they play. From small-town gigs to sold-out hometown shows, 12/OC has become a fixture in the Maine music scene. Their songs come straight from the heart—stories about rural life, family, growing up, and everything in between. It’s honest, feel-good country with a fresh edge, and it’s striking a chord with fans well beyond their home state. But 12/OC isn’t just Will and Reid. It’s a full band and a tight-knit brotherhood. George Chaison-Lapine brings power and finesse behind the drums, Chris Fawcett holds down the low end on bass, and Sammy Thayer, their Front of House engineer, makes sure every show sounds just right. Together, this group of longtime friends brings a chemistry to the stage that’s impossible to fake. Now based in Nashville, Tennessee, the brothers are chasing the dream and showing the world what a couple of Maine boys can really do. With their small-town grit and big-stage ambitions, they’re diving headfirst into Music City—collaborating, performing, and sharing their sound with a whole new audience. Through it all, they’ve stayed grounded. The fans, the long drives, the late nights, and the hometown support mean everything. And while they’ve come a long way from their kitchen jam sessions, one thing’s certain: 12/OC is just getting started. With heart, hustle, and a whole lot of harmony, they’re ready to take country music by storm.
