Nick Govrik is an American musician, songwriter, and chef from Nashville, Tennessee. He is most notably known for his current role as the bass player and primary songwriter of the band Trigger Hippy, which was cofounded by Black Crowes drummer Steve Gorman and Govrik in 2009 [1]. Govrik and Gorman were joined on stage by Jimmy Herring and Audley Freed at the band’s first show under the name Trigger Hippy at the Cox Capital Theatre in Macon, GA in 2009. Trigger Hippy’s past members include Joan Osborne, Jackie Greene, and Tom Bukovac [2]. The group’s current line-up includes guitarist Ed Jurdi and singer/saxophonist Amber Woodhouse [3]. Govrik was also the chef and owner of Kitchen Downtown, which he opened in Nashville’s historic Arcade in 2019. Govrik served as the long-time Executive Chef at the University Club of Nashville on Vanderbilt University Campus for 15 years, until its closing in 2018.

Prior to founding Trigger Hippy, Nick Govrik played with a number of bands in the Nashville area. Along with Chad Abel and Lewis Stubbs, Govrik founded the Nashville band Highwater — a local and regional roots rock and roll band of the 1990s. The group recorded three albums at the world-famous Muscle Shoals Sound Studios under the guidance of Wolf Stephenson of Malaco Records. In 2001-2003 Govrik hosted a weekly music jam called “Nicky G’s Jubilee” with fellow musicians Rob McNelley and Trey Landry. Following his work with Highwater, Govrik was the bass player for the soul and gospel group Mike Farris & The Roseland Rhythm Revue from 2007-2010. In February 2010, Govrik, along with Gorman and Herring, backed up Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi at the John Bell and Friends Benefit Bash at the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida. In 2012, Govrik toured with legendary Rolling Stone’s saxophone player Bobby Keys.
