I pretty much do everything, but I'm not bragging. I do have folks join me on a track from time to time, but since I can do this by myself, I take advantage of it. That's not to say I wouldn't mind helping someone else out on a recording.

Hi, everybody!
I uploaded a new acoustic video for you all. I'm playing my song "Flying" from the Once in a Blue Mood album. I plan to release a new video every month for a little while. Hope you're enjoying them!
I'm still working on my new album. I hope to have it done later this year. I'll let you know more when I get closer to a release date.

Enjoy the music!
Since we're all stuck indoors, I thought it would be good time to release another track from the album I'm working on. The album won't be officially released until this fall, but at least there is something to show for now.
Hope all of you are healthy,
I just wanted to wish all of you well during this time of uncertainty full of lock downs, closures, unemployment and fear. Stay safe during these trying times. I know we can survive this, we just have to use our heads.

I uploaded a new song. Don't worry, if you miss one of the old songs, I know where you can get them. Just contact me here and I'll send you the link. The new song is called "These Are the Times" and it is my plea for peace. At some point, we have to wake up from this nightmare that is taking over humanity if we want to move up to the next level. I hope that I can get everyone singing about peace in hopes they'll be thinking about it more. What can I say, I'm a hippie at heart. Enjoy the song.
Hi!
If you'd like to hear a different one of my songs every week, join me on Twitter. I tweet one of my songs every weekend and I try to throw in a few rarities.

Hi, everybody! Sorry you haven't heard from me in a long time, but I had some problems with this site, but now it is working again. Please don't think I've ignored you. I'm grateful for your interest in my music! I've uploaded new songs & 1 video. I hope this will make up for the absence. I had to delete the old songs to make room, but they are still available to those who want them. You can ask me where to get them.
I have attached the single from my latest release that has got the most attention. There are two others uploaded on this site. The album is available for free download here: (expired link)
I think this is my best work to date. I hope you will think so, too.
I appreciate all your comments. I'm glad you're all listening to the music, after all, that's what I had hoped for. I am currently working on new material that I hope to have released sometime this fall. You can always find me at various social networks. The links are on my web site (expired link)
I will be sure to stay in touch with you all.

This was an idea I've had for a long time. I have wanted to make a video since...well, since MTV actually played music. Anyway, thanks to the help of Frank Lanni, Jr. and his professional grade video gear, I now have one I can be proud of. I am really impressed with the way this came out. I hope to work with Frank again on another one sometime soon.

His sound is described as "Dark Folk" which is basically a unique mixture of folk, rock, and Chris Nelson has been playing music for over 25 years and has written a large volume of songs, mostly under the name of his former band, Fishkill, although on most of the recordings, he played all the instruments. Some of the songs have even reached high chart positions on a variety of Internet radio stations. He released a total of four discs under this name.
In 2004, he turned the recording project into a live band and began playing music throughout the central Pennsylvania area. The band even participated in the 2005 Bodog Battle of the Bands in Philadelphia, where they made an impression on the crowd as something a little out of the ordinary. The band, however, only recorded six songs, three of which are live performances. Poor audience turnout and the loss of their first drummer altered the creative chemistry of the band and ultimately, they parted ways.
After the band broke up in 2006, Nelson began compiling songs that would be used to re-launch himself as a solo musician. This time, he started leaning toward a more folk-like sound, while keeping the spirit of rock and roll intact. What followed was a new sound known as "Dark Folk".
