Insert from www.rossneilson.com: Canada�s hardest working blues rock act, Ross Neilsen, does it right. Taking strong, timeless material to the place that matters. The People. Six Years, over 1000 shows and half a million Kilometers traveled. In a time of corporate cookie cutter music this is the return to real. Proving hard work pays off Ross Neilsen has been honoured with a nomination for Best New Artist at The Maple Blues Awards in 2010, two Rising Star nominations from CBC, back to back Blues Album of the Year nominations from the East Coast Music Association, a win for Best Blues Recording for Redemption at the 2010 MusicNB awards and more recently Ross has been selected to represent Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN. Ross Neilsen is the real, old school kind of artist. Write. Tour. Record. Tour. Repeat.

Whether telling tall tales or capturing the spirit of the blues through his own originals and unique covers in his intimate solo shows or combining clever lyrics with old school, in-your-face guitar playing with his band, Ross Neilsen will take you on an emotional journey through the joys and pains of life, death, triumph and defeat. Neilsen will touch your heart, soul, body and mind, sending you home to sing yourself to sleep. And in the morning? You will want more, much more.
