Earl Nelson & the Company
Friday, June 20, 2025 June 20, 2025 Tips Up Starting at 9:00pm
Earl Nelson & the Company bring a gritty, genre-hopping fusion of blues, soul, funk, and country to the stage—modern Americana with deep roots. Based in Colorado and fronted by Kansas-born songwriter and slide guitarist Earl Nelson, the band draws influence from delta blues, Motown, 1970s country funk, and working-class life. Nelson’s lyrics reflect his time as a welder and blue-collar laborer, grounding each song in raw truth and fire-lit storytelling.
With a lineup that includes blues banjo, jazz keys, funky basslines, and gospel-fueled percussion, their live show transforms any venue into a modern juke joint. From swampy slide riffs to New Orleans-style piano solos, Earl Nelson & the Company push Americana forward without losing its soul. For fans of The Band, Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, and Taj Mahal, this is roots music that grooves, sweats, and gets loud when it needs to.
