Ghosts On The Water

"The cover of my new album, 'Ghosts On The Water', is a simulacrum of my music. In the background, 21st century America, linear and gleaming, in the foreground, the old mythic America, intangible, otherworldly, harboring millions of peculiar tales. The past leaves its marks. There are ghosts all around us." ~ Nelson Wright

As a boy in rural upstate New York, Nelson started down the back roads of American roots music. His last album, "Orphans & Relics", received notice as one of the Top 100 Folk Albums by Roots Music Report, and captured some exceptional press. “Like listening to an album of T Bone Burnett”, wrote Alt Country NL. Nelson is now Seattle based, and his current drug of choice is caffeine.

New album, "Ghosts On The Water", is out tomorrow, March 29th, 2025.
