Grammy winning guitar legend & Johnny Winter protege Paul Nelson will be touring the US in support of his critically accliamed latest album \u201cBadass Generation.\u201d For Paul Nelson, a new musical chapter beckons…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nelson was not only the hand picked guitarist to legendary rock\/blues icon Johnny Winter but is recognized in his own right as one of today\u2019s top guitarists. \u201cJohnny definitely took me under his wing,\u201d Nelson remembers his late friend and mentor. \u201cThe blues world does that. One musician hands you the torch, and then you try to run with it. Johnny took pride in turning me on to the likes of Robert Johnson, T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters Delta, Texas and Chicago blues \u2013 all the music that he loved. I knew what he was doing for me, and I am really appreciative for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Worldwide touring has always been a constant in his career. Nelson and his time with Winter was no different, performing and\/or recording along side an array of today’s top artists such as: Slash, Vince Gill, Joe Walsh, Eric Clapton, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Sonny Landreth, Edgar Winter, Billy Gibbons, Leslie West, Susan Tedeshi, Joe Bonamassa, Dr. John, Dickey Betts, Rick Derringer, Brian Setzer, Larry Carlton, Robben Ford and countless others. Major appearances such as television performances on \u201cLate Night with David Letterman\u201d and \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live\u201d soon followed. This finally led Nelson to perform on and produce \u201cStep Back,\u201d a posthumous, star- studded affair, – pairing him on recordings with Eric Clapton, Billy Gibbons, Joe Perry, Ben Harper and many others, earning both Nelson and Winter Grammy Awards for \u201cBest Blues Album\u201d. Nelson still feels the loss of his friend and mentor. But he also recognizes that new creative endeavors are ahead.<\/p>\n

Nelson received a Grammy award for his work performing on and producing Winter’s \u201cStep Back\u201d release on Megaforce\/Sony winning \u201cBest Blues Album of the Year\u201d highlighting his already long list of Grammy Nominations. As well as the BMA \u201cBlues Music Award\u201d for \u201cBest Blues\/Rock Album\u201d reaching #16 on the Billboard Top 200 and staying at #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts for weeks. He is also a recipient of the Blues Foundation’s KBA \u201cKeeping The Blues Alive Award\u201d.<\/p>\n

His music has reached millions with appearances on Late Night with David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel Live, and on award winning documentaries: \u201cDown and Dirty\u201d The Johnny Winter Story and \u201cSideman: Long Road to Glory\u201d (feat: Bonnie Rait, Gregg Allman, Hubert Sumlin), as well as music written\/performed and broadcast nationally on NBC and on multiple major album releases, books, instructional guitar columns, live Concert DVD’s, and guest performances on countless recordings.<\/p>\n

Staying at #1 on the \u201cHot New Releases\u201d charts for months Nelson’s latest project \u201cBadass Generation” on Sony Records still maintains his unmistakable connection to the Blues, but it also finds the guitarist showing his many other musical dimentions fans have come expect considering him one of music’s most respected and influential contemporary artists. The formation of The Paul Nelson Band and new self-titled album marks the next step in that evolution. Nelson’s latest project still maintains an unmistakable connection to the blues, but it also finds the guitarist showing his other musical dimensions, from hard-edged, uncompromising rock and blues to acoustic-driven singer-songwriter fare.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Paul Nelson Band rocks. Period. Nelson’s sparkling electricity spills out of his guitar like Blues\/Rock on Steroids. Singer Morten Fredheim is a find! Paul Rodgers ain’t got nothin\u2019 on this guy! Nelson is razor-sharp, crystal-clear and punctuates the proceedings with a kick and a grin. This band can\u2019t help but be huge.\u201d – Goldmine Magazine<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

On this album Nelson and his newly formed band skillfully incorporate an array of sounds and styles, with what Nelson’s fans know to be his calling card: remarkable, world-class virtuosity on the guitar – what you might expect of someone who was also taught by six-string master Steve Vai. \u201cThis project has so much input from all of the different styles of music that have influenced me and my band, from blues to classic rock to jam band, pop rock and more. I wanted to play the guitar to serve the songs \u2013 and not the other way around. Everything I create has to fit in with the music,\u201d says Nelson.<\/p>\n
