Lord Nelson is two brothers, one greasy trombone, backbone bass, pocket drums, dirty south guitar, and a hell of a lot of fun. They play rock and roll that is at once accessible and original. Formed in 2012 by Kai and Bram Crowe-Getty, the band cut their teeth rehearsing in basements and barns. The band consists of Kai Crowe-Getty on guitar and vocals, Henry Barrett Jones on Trombone and vocals with Bram Crowe-Getty on drums, Trevor Pietsch on bass and Robert Word on lead guitar.The three years this group has spent together, writing and playing music, is represented in the songs on their debut album, The County. From harmony laced anthems to slow burning ballads and rowdy floor stompers, these ten songs showcase the beginning of Lord Nelson's musical journey. The title of the album and the name of the band both pay tribute to Nelson County, VA — birthplace of the Crowe-Getty brothers and the inspiration behind much of the music. Even the recording itself was done in a remote mountaintop studio in Nelson. Lord Nelson's music is anything but ironic — their lyrical roots grow from a sense of place and visceral life experiences. Their songs not only celebrate a time when hardworking rock and roll bands thrived throughout America, but also pay tribute to musical mentors, lost loved ones and nights on the town. This is an ambitious young group with a powerful live stage presence and more great music on the horizon.
