NELSON BRAGG is a drummer-percussionist-singer-songwriter-producer-arranger who also paints abstract pictures that channel the spirit of Kandinsky and Miro and they have sold pretty well. He spends alot of time in the studio, on tour and gigs. He plays with BRIAN WILSON live and performed on the following releases: and has played live and performed on the following cd's with: THE QUARTER AFTER, THE NOW PEOPLE, THE MELLO CADS, CAROLYN EDWARDS, JEFF MERCHANT THE TYDE STEW CLOUD ELEVEN, THE MOCKERS, RAMSAY MIDWOOD ANDREW SANDOVAL THE LOVETONES KEVIN KANE WILLIE WISELY And On All The Above Releases. DAVID MARKS, ANDREW GOLD, PUGWASH and THE RED BUTTON have had Nelson play with them as well. "NELSON BRAGG has been working in and around the Los Angeles melodic pop scene since leaving his native Massachusetts in early 1999. His stints in such stellar Los Angeles-area bands as The Now People, The Quarter After, The Mello Cads, Cosmo Topper, and Cloud Eleven eventually led Bragg to higher-profile gigs with artists such as Stew and, eventually, Brian Wilson (with whom he currently tours and records with). An all around multi-instrumentalist, its Braggs expert drumming and spot-on vocal abilities that have garnered him the most attention. He's also a master arranger and an advanced composer in his own right, a natural musician brimming with confidence and chops (he once sat-in uninvited, no less with the great Paul Williams, and proceeded to blow the house down)."- KERRY CHICOINE-earcandymagazine.com THESE PICTURES BELOW ARE BY RUDOLF BAUER (German).
