DONT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH A FANTASTIC REUNITED BAND!
Gunnar and his identical twin Matthew made history for the Nelson family in 1990, when their song, “Love and Affection”became the Billboard's Top #1 hit. It landed the Nelson family in the Guinness Book of World Records as the only family in history to have three (3) successive generations of #1 hits! Gunnar and Matthew, whose band NELSON became a staple on MTV had many hits off their multi-platinum selling album, “After the Rain” – including songs “More than Ever” and “After the Rain” which became a celebrated anthem to a lot of the troops during the first Gulf War.
In December 2007, VH1 ranked "Love and Affection" in the "100 Greatest Songs of the '90s" through interactive voting from the viewers of VH1.
Matthew and Gunnar recently reunited their original multiplatinum rock band, NELSON, kicking off summer concert dates in June. It's the first time the band (including Matthew and Gunnar and original drummer Bobby Rock) have toured together in over 15 years! NELSON had 5 Top 40 Billboard hits, 4 #1 MTV videos and sold over 4 million albums worldwide!
