With an intense presence and the spirit of a phoenix, Nels is a powerhouse of a performer and musician, and she has the pipes, songs, drive, and passion to prove it. As a hybrid offspring, Nels sings the anthems of the 80s, plays the angst of the 90s, and performs with an attitude all of her own, creating a new version of rock that transcends most genres while staying true to her core. Nels rocks like no other.
Out and loud, Nels headlined her first national tour for the LGBT community in 2006 and is on the road once again in 2007, making stops in 35+ cities, promoting her new album release, Pas de Deux. With roaring guitar tones and searing meloides, Pas de Deux embodies Nels and her own definition of rock. The flavor of this album, combined with a screaming, gritty live show makes Nels one must see, bad ass rocker.
".Like Etheridge or Bon Jovi for that matter she has a hard-edged but melodic-lyrical thread and a confessional, out-and-proud attitude that immediately pegs her as true indie-rock."
