NELSON – BIO
NELSON is the rock band fronted by Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, the identical twin sons of rock ‘n’ roll legend Ricky Nelson and grandsons of ‘50s TV icons Ozzie and Harriet Nelson.
The Nelson family is the only family in entertainment history with three generations of #1 hitmakers, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Matthew and Gunnar have five Top 40 Billboard hits, four #1 MTV videos and have sold over four million albums worldwide.
They have reunited NELSON touring and recording after 15 years away with guitar virtuoso Neil Zaza and have released a seamless sequel to their multi-platinum “After the Rain” album on Frontier Records called “Lightning Strikes Twice.”
In addition to their NELSON performances, the brothers have also toured the world with a critically acclaimed musical tribute to their late father, Ricky Nelson that features their renditions of his biggest hits from the 50’s through the 70’s.
