»» Their songs transcend time. Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, revered for unforgettable past hits, explore fresh creative territory in the present. Magically melodic songwriting and soaring sibling harmonies ensure that this pair will be a vital part of the music scene’s future.

"After the Rain" was the hit debut multi-platinum album by Nelson, the band led by Matthew and Gunnar in the early 1990s. They zoomed to number one with "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection," had three Top 10 singles, four #1 MTV videos, five Top 40 Billboard Hits and became massively popular overseas.

Every magazine from Rolling Stone to People did cover stories, and the twins performed on national network television shows like "Late Night With David Letterman" and "Saturday Night Live." Critics tended to unfairly overlook Nelson, however, because of the brothers’ pin-up good looks... but that didn’t stop millions of fans from ‘getting’ what all the excitement was about.

With the rise of grunge rock in the mid-90s, pop music grew dark and foreboding. Matthew and Gunnar chose not to compromise their positive, drug-free posture to suit the trend. Those who continued to follow the brothers’ musical progress were rewarded with numerous gems on their seven subsequent albums on their own Stone Canyon Records label.   more »
