I play bookstores, coffee shops, campuses and festivals here in Ohio and in Kentucky, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. I am an old-school, hard-core, unrepentant, “died-in-the-wool” American folk and bluegrass musician.
I wake up each morning in great amazement that I have so many opportunities to sing and play some of the most haunting and mysterious music ever committed to voice. It is my great good fortune that I am surrounded three hours in any direction by some of the most insanely talented like-minded individuals you would ever want to pick away a weekend with. Dropping down into Pennsyltucky for long weekends helps keep my brain well lubricated and in fine adjustment. Heading up the other direction into the north country to pick with free-reed ore-boaters, iron miners and alcohol crazed lumberjacks always reminds me how lucky I am to be living here in a mid-western lake state. Those people know more jigs, reels and hornpipes than I will ever be able to learn… Click here to add this banner to your profile! |

My Interests |

Music:Member Since: 11/11/2007Band Website: garynelsonacousticroots.wordpress.com/ Band Members: Gary Nelson - Guitar, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, harmonica and vocals Influences: I grew up listening to lots of Woody Guthrie, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, The Stanley Brothers, The Carter Family, Leadbelly, Charlie Patton, The New Lost City Ramblers, Bill Monroe and any number of country blues artists recorded to 78 rpm. I return to these “old friends” again and again. Theirs is the “pure stream” from which I never tire of drinking. I grew older listening to Stormin’ Norman Blake, Tony Rice, Peter Rowan, Bob Dylan, Tim O’Brien, John Hartford, Alan Freeman, Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks and Jerry Garcia. Each was always fun to listen to and fun to study. Each always impressed me with how committed they were to a style of music and to a style of presentation. Now, I find I enjoy listening to the young Turks like Dan Tyminski, David Grier, Mike Compton, David Rawlings, Devil in the Woodpile, Steve Earle, Ann and Phil Case, Sam Bush and Andru Bemis. They make all things old new again. This miserable, wicked world is a better place because of their efforts. Record Label: Strum and Twang Type of Label: Indie |
