Some of you may know that I'm blessed with some very talented offspring. I'm thrilled to announce that my son, Elliot Nelson, will be releasing his first solo album on Bandcamp on Friday the 7th of August.
Titled 'As He Now Appears' the album is a sometimes dark and brooding atmospheric instrumental piece with Elliot playing all the instruments himself. The album contains 11 tracks and was mastered at Fairview by John Spence,(who masters my own albums.) The album also features artwork by my daughter Elle Nelson.
The album can be pre-ordered from Bandcamp and you can hear samples from a couple of tracks by using this link.
And here is Elliot's Facebook page:
Those of you who enjoy the more 'left field,' ambient, avant, experimental style of music will, I think, really like this album. Check it out and help support a fellow traveller in sound. 😉
Once upon a time, I sent to England a Jeff Nelson 43 MLB All Star jersey T-shirt, via Opium. The All Star Game was being played in Seattle and merch was readily available. Anyway, it had Nelson on the back. My not so secret agenda was to encourage Honeytone Cody to play within our fair city. I believe that they were going to play the Crocodile Café. My wildest dream was to swing a deal so that they could play our destination resort with a casino amenity out on the coast.
Long story short, it did not happen. But I have bought all the Honeytone Cody products that I was made aware of. As this release will be on Bandcamp, I am hoping to buy it with all the funds going to Elliot. Cool.
