Biography.

The stories are simple, the sound is immense and it all emanates from the most unlikely of sources. A soft spoken man unashamed to present a transparent look in to the not so ordinary lives of ordinary people. Nelson sings tales riddled with tragedy, despair, hope, joy and redemption.

Christin seems to be traveling the music world from style to style picking up scraps of melodies and sounds only to then paste them together in a musical painting that reminds the listener of some place distinct yet familiar.

Coming from a varied background of music, more recent work has garnered comparisons to artists like Neil Young, David Bazan, and Tom Petty mixed with David Holmes, Boards Of Canada and Scientific.

"...after hearing Christin play a few songs I felt like he was telling me a story, and it slowly pulled my mind in to imagine what this tree looked like and who the guy really was who ran into it. It was something I haven't experienced before."

"Christin Nelson has the most amazing blend of soulful alt-rock-folk-punk sensibilities... I can sit and watch him pour out his soul for hours on end... you should have at least one of his CDs in your collection... "
Anthony Vilgiate - Village Oddity
Woodland Park, CO

"Nelson showcases a careful, even-selfconcious, diversity I've not laid ears on in a while."
