KINLOCH NELSON, a solo fingerstyle guitar player, creates a synthesis of folk, jazz, classical, rock, American popular music, and original compositions. His programs range from J.S. Bach to the blues and may include references to Miles Davis, Franz Schubert, John Fahey, The Ventures, The “folk scare,” Flatt and Scruggs, and the occasional TV theme.

Recent concerts have included appearances with Stephen Bennett, Muriel Anderson, Teja Gerken (Acoustic Guitar magazine), Al Peteway (Ken Burns documentaries) and Wings alumnus Laurence Juber.
