Band Bio
Arron
Nelson is one of the most masterful and respected musicians in the West
Kootenays. This world class bass player, multi-instrumentalist and
singer songwriter has been performing in the Kootenays since the early
80's in many renowned musical collaborations. He brings his vast
musical accumen to his current group, The Arron Nelson Project.
Surrounding himself with some of the Kootenay's most talented
musicians, what began as The Arron Nelson Band in 2004 has synthsized
into a honed hybrid of audio pulses and visual projections linking
pertinent images with fractal movements.
Built on a bedrock of
solid, sexy, spellbinding bass lines, soaring harmonies, tasty,
sensitive guitar licks and smokin' persussion - this multi-textured
soundscape has a strong underpinning of Afro-Cuban, Brazilian and West
African grooves.
With the creation of a musical genre they call 'message music',
the lyrical content of their songs is both revolutionary and relevant
to the issues facing our world and each other as individuals today.
With songs like Shed Your Skin, Possible, Skies Blue, Locked Down
Borders and We Are All Miles Away this dynamic group delivers.
Undoubtedly fantastic festival music they attract an audience that is both multii cultural and cross generational.
