“If you don’t think you got the blues, just keep livin”
Mountain Blues
BASED IN GOLDEN, COLORADO
Earl Nelson & the Company are a genre-bending force in modern roots music, delivering a Heavy-Soul blend of hill country blues, country funk, and gospel folk that hits with raw power and infectious groove. Based in Colorado, the band channels the grit of the Delta and the soul of Muscle Shoals through a distinctly modern lens — blending swampy slide guitar, gospel harmonies, and a driving rhythm section built for the big stage.
Since forming in late 2021, Earl Nelson & the Company have quickly built a reputation as one of the most electrifying live acts in the region. Their high-energy, foot-stomping performances have packed venues from the mountain west to the south while their dynamic musicianship and emotional authenticity continue to win over new audiences everywhere they play.
With an expanding catalog of original roots music and shared bills alongside artists like Cris Jacobs, Early James, Nether Hour, and Left Lane Cruiser, Earl Nelson & the Company are poised for the national stage — ready to bring their heavy-soul revival to festival crowds and bigger rooms across the country.
For audiences seeking something raw, rootsy, and rhythmically undeniable — this is the band that turns heads and moves feet.
