Don’t miss this exciting event, a rare chance to catch this rising band and its extraordinarily appealing, virtuosic music before Nelo hits the big-time and grows beyond the reach of small venues like CTD (even if the sax player is a family member)! Hear, see and learn all about Nelo at their web site.
Nelo (rhymes with “hello”) was born when Matt Ragland, songwriter and acoustic guitarist, started writing songs in Austin, where he attended The University of Texas at the same time as singer Reid Umstattd. Ragland formed a band, mostly of musician friends from high school, and moved to Athens, Ga. After playing there for little more than a year and building a devoted fan base, Nelo moved back to Austin to play for its growing Texas high-school and college-age audiences and started recording its debut album, slated for release April 22, 2008 on Pedernales Records. Prior to joining Nelo, Chris Hill (drums, percussion), Stephen Goodson (electric guitar), David Long (tenor & soprano sax, flute) and Mike St. Clair (bass, trombone) all attended the University of North Texas, where they studied jazz.
