Denver
Earl Nelson & the Company have emerged to create a funky blend of Mississippi delta blues, Mo-town soul, and bluegrass country. The band infuses blues banjo, jazz keys, funky basslines, and heavy percussion to back Earl's gritty vocals and slide guitar. With a large helping of gospel blues riffs and New Orleans piano solos, their live sound turns any stage into an old-fashioned juke joint. Main influences: Taj Mahal, The Band, Canned Heat, Snooks Eaglin, Bonnie Raitt, Ry Cooder, Link Wray, The Allman Brothers.
