JOHN NEILSON HAS MOVED TO AUSTIN TX!!!!! COME ON OUT AND CATCH A SHOW. SXSW 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Breaking up is always hard to do, but sometimes, it works out for the best. John Neilson was only 24 when he was engaged and prepared to celebrate his wedding at his mother’s farm in Mount Airy, MD on the night of August 8, 2003. As fate would have it, John and his fiancée called the wedding off and hoping to find himself, John moved across the USA to Los Angeles, CA to pursue his career in songwriting and to heal his heart. After moving to Los Angeles, John had managed to become a regular performer at the LA Hot Spots like Hotel Café in Hollywood, The Troubadour, Viper Room, Key Club, House of Blues, Crash Mansion, The Mint and other staples of the LA music scene. John has had the pleasure of opening up for Joshua Radin, Meiko, Katy Perry, Bob Schneider, Brett Dennen, Patterson Hood, Jason Isbell& the 400 Unit, Augustana, Kevin Devine, Jason Reeves, One Republic, Kate Earle, Beth Orton, Jenny Owens Young, John Doe of X, Sophie B Hawkins, Molly Hatchet, Mat Kearney, Blackfoot, Paul Thorn, Butch Walker, and many more!!!!!! John played SXSW Viper Room/Swinghouse showcase 2008 and has recently moved to Austin TX. John has also written songs with Sophie B. Hawkins and has wrote songs for LA Guns as well as toured nationally with both. Most recently, John has signed licensing deals with Sony Pictures TV and MTV Networks and has his music placed.
