He'll try to make it next time, but for now, it's all Zoom and phone interviews, like this morning from his new home in Nashville.
Because of Gibson Guitars, he moved to Nashville and loves it!
After 9 years being Hollywood-based and touring for 319 days out of the year, to 32 countries, why not make Nashville home?
Don't worry, he's still an Old School Classic Rocker, with an up-tempo.
With his latest release, "Bad Roots," he discussed about how you deal with bad things and bad experiences in life.
Either you hold a grudge about them or you build off them, move on, then make them positive.
He deals with them, with his guitar.
Jared, "We can't hide from bad things." It's how you deal with them.
The whole goal with each song, is that it has its own story and music.
Jared, "I never thought in a million years, I'll be doing music boat cruises."
But, he is and he does.
Think of music festival on the high seas.
From October 29th to November 3rd, Jared is part of KISS Kruise.
Yes, KISS has it's own "booze cruise."
In fact, Jared has done several music festival cruises, out on the ocean, Monsters of Rock Cruise, Keep Blues Alive Cruise, Rock n' Wrestling Cruise, and now KISS Kruise.
He never thought, growing up in Wisconsin listening to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Who, he'll be doing music "booze cruises" in a million years, but people have major fun.
The wildest cruise he ever did was the Rock n' Wrestling Cruise.
Each cruise attracts a different audience.
Rock n' Wrestling Cruise, it was so crazy. Partying non-stop and the wrestling. Nuts on the ocean.
On a music festival cruise, everything is amped up. No driving. No responsibilities. Drinking all day. People let loose. Pretty wild and crazy.
He calls this, doing something wild and special.
So, if you really want soak up Jared James Nichols, you can join him and other rockers on

Rock on and party on!
