Nels Andrews has spent many years wandering, gathering songs, and singing them all over the globe, sharing them around campfires, coffeeshops, clubs , festivals, and living room floors. It is now five years since we last saw him perform at The Wee Gig, when he toured to promote his critically acclaimed third album, 'Scrimshaw'. But the long wait will soon be over as Nels returns with a catalog of new songs from his recently launched fourth album, 'Pigeon and the Crow'.
Nels is a literary songwriter, a journeyman in the craft of melody who is here to tell you a story. One of Nels’ heroes, Anais Mitchell says of his work, “Nels is a master carver, an artist patient and obsessed enough to turn a whale of an idea into something delicate and beautiful from any angle.” Nels is now based in Santa Cruz, California, beside his beloved Pacific, where he can more often than not be spotted riding the waves on his beloved surfboard.
