About me:
Hello-
Thanks for visiting my My Space Page. I hope you enjoy yourself.
I have a website, which has all my music-related info on it.
It's at http://www.joshnelsonmusic.com/
Please visit it and sign up on my email list so I can let you know where I'm playing next.
Please send your good vibes into the universe for Ludvig Girdland, one of my best friends (and a genius violinist) who is now in a waking coma thanks to a drunk driver. We love you Ludvig. We can't wait to have you back! Please purchase a copy of "Friends Forever", an album of live and studio sessions that Ludvig and I did between 2004-2005. All the proceeds of the record go to Ludvig and his family. You can get it at www.cdbaby.com/cd/nelsongirdland. Thanks for your support!
"LET IT GO", my new studio album for the Native Language Music label features an INCREDIBLE BAND- Seamus Blake (sax), Darek Oles (bass), Matt Wilson (drums), Anthony Wilson (guitar), Sara Gazarek (vocals), and the Supernova String Quartet.
Please visit my MySpace music page at www.myspace.com/joshnelsontrio for my touring schedule. Also, my official website is www.joshnelsonmusic.com. You can find my records there, as well as other delights.
