"Nelson has a fascinating voice; part velvety crooner and part dime store gangster as he inhabits the characters in his songs."
- The Rocking Magpie
Song crafter, blues explorer, mystery muser Paul Nelson brings the music home. Traveling through a landscape of blues/roots and popfolk, Paul delivers a musical experience that captures and inspires, with heartfelt, rootsy songwriting and passionate live performances.
Since emerging onto the music scene in 2018 and Paul has been playing regularly around New England, including opening for acts like folk icon Ellis Paul at Club Passim in Cambridge and playing the acoustic stage at the 2019 Best of NH Party. His music has been featured twice on Boston’s 92.5 The River's Homegrown Music Showcase this past summer.
​
Paul’s debut album, Over Under Through (January 2019), has had radio play around the globe on blues/roots, AAA, and folk formats, winning rave reviews across many genres.
Gary Burnett at Down at the Crossroads named Over Under Through among the top 10 Americana releases of 2019 (#4).
“This is a beguiling, wonder of an album, a labor of love from a hugely talented artist.”
Jim Hynes, Making a Scene! says “Nelson’s voice is menacingly soulful… the intimacy of his song craft is riveting….you’re
mesmerized.”
