Pop/rock spotlight: Nicholas David

Nicholas David
Friday-Saturday: If his third-place finish on American TV's top-rated singing competition didn't impress you — NBC's "The Voice," that is, not Fox's dwindling "American Idol" — then how about a rabid hometown following that even the top winners on either show would envy? The St. Paul-based hippie-soul singer formerly known as Nick "The Feelin' " Mrozinski has kept up local appearances since his "Voice" stint ended in December, from singing Al Green with the TC Funk & Soul All-Stars at 89.3 the Current's birthday party to knocking the anthem out of the park at the Twins opener. He's finally ready for his first full gigs with his band the Feelin' since his TV run, also our first glimpse of what's to come from his post-"Voice" career. (9 p.m. Fri.-Sat. $15. Fri. show sold out. First Avenue, 701 1st Av. N., Mpls. 612-338-8388 or eTix.com.)
