Now, Nurse is preparing for a different stage.
Nurse, via CityNews:
I’m working on four songs right now that I’m getting ready to – I’m getting ready to have a little performance. Actually, March 11th, I’m having a kickoff for my foundation – Nick Nurse Foundation – in support of music programs for kids around the Toronto area. So, we have a lot of bands coming in, and I’m going to sit in with, well, at least one of them.
Nurse is doing this while building a strong case for Coach of the Year.
Excelling in the NBA and music, Nurse is a regular Damian Lillard.
