IN REAL LIFE - 2009 The latest release from Nick Granato continues his journey. This CD is a true mix of all the previous elements that have been highlighted from Nick's past offerings. Distinctively inspiring and uplifting, but still carrying that philosophical 'Nick' quality that he has become known for. There is an endearing aspect to these songs, that keep you engaged with the melodies. A diverse offering of musical styles , as some simply put it - without a doubt ,"Nick" Music!

Outside The Lines (2007) - marked a change of direction for Nick Granato, moving from his popular fun Florida Style music, into a more serious socially and politically inspired music. With a folk/rock edge, an uncompromising message keeps the focus in this multi-award winning CD. Nick was honored by the Stonewall Society by garnering five prestigious Pride In The Arts nominations and winning two of their most important awards, including CD Of The Year and Artist Of The Year. #1 CD for 2007 on the Outvoice Top 40, with such a strong holding power in 2008, the CD took the #5 postion for the year, and then remained on the top 40 at #27 for 2009. This CD spent 5 months at #1, with over 28 months on the charts, and delivered several #1 songs. To date, this CD is Nick Granato at his best . Contains the # 1 songs; My Ordinary Life, Who I Am, No More Stones, Everybody Has A Heart, Rhythm Of life, and Color Outside The Lines.
Plastic Pink Flamingos (2005) - This CD is a collection of fun Florida Style music. Songs about the ocean, beach, sunshine and living in the Florida state of mind abound. This CD was the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Sun Dance CD. Keeping in mind the party like, relaxed attitude, this CD is just plain fun. The title cut Plastic Pink Flamingos was actually serioiusly considered for the new Florida State Song. The song Once Upon A Paradise became the theme for the Oceans First Foundation, and Eventide was used in a documentary for the late Oceanographer Jacques Cousteau. Nicks song Hurricane Town is heard on the radio whenever a hurricane threatens the coasts. You can hear this music in the Florida Welcome Centers from Jacksonville to Key West. The term Flockers was coined form this CD as a term of endearment for Nicks Fans, his fan club now numbers over 11,000. Contains the hit songs: Margarita Meltdown, Survive, Plastic Pink Flamingos and Hurricane Town.
SUN DANCE (2003) - released in 2003 was critically acclaimed and hugely successful. Multi-nominated and highly reviewed, this CD set Nick Granato up as an artist/songwriter to watch in the coming years. SongFolk Journal honored Nick with their Horizon Award as well as nominations for his song Floridas Son. Rolling Stone, Billboard Magazine, Napster and many others praised this CD using the words; fresh, thought-provoking, and inspired. Nick was summoned for two seperate command performances by then Florida Governor Jeb Bush, as well as a national tour sponsored by Oceans First Foundation and Norwegian Cruise Lines. Sun Dance found favor amongst enviromentalist, beach enthusiasts and those who were drawn to Nicks simple life philosphies. Stella Parton, Darlene Austin, Susan Humphries and Wanette McQuitty are just a few of the super talents that added their voices to make this CD so memorable. Hit songs include;
Sun Dance, Upside Down, Floridas Son, The Way The Wind Blows and Somewhere In the Sand.
