Album Notes

***************

"You will be moved by the beautiful and thoughtful music of one of Portland's best emerging singer/songwriters"

Eric Nelson grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and followed a traditional career path in corporate America after graduating from college. He married, relocated to Portland, Oregon and earned his C.P.A. certificate while working in the financial world.

In 1996, Eric began to search for something more meaningful in his life. Something that would better represent who he was inside. He began to write songs. But these weren't just ordinary songs about cars, bars and girls. These were songs about dreams, relationships and trying to find your place in the world today.

Light Years is the culmination of that 4-year process. Featuring the beautiful accompaniment of Tim Ellis, Light Years will immediately strike a chord within anyone who has ever battled themselves while trying to find true happiness.

"That's what the title Light Years means to me...that when you struggle through the dark days, you can ultimately find a happier way of life, or light years."

Eric has been featured on Portland's KINK radio Local Artist Spotlight and on VH1's "A Night With".

REVIEWS

Wow! What an album!
author: Jason Davidson
                            
This CD has great music and wonderful lyrics! Kudos to Eric for his songwriting ability. Eric makes you feel as if you are experiencing what is in his mind. It's as if you were right there with him. Tim Ellis does a great job with the backup instrumentals as well. This is a great team, and I look forward to future releases from Eric.

Unbelieveable! This young new artist has got to be heard! We play his debut CD for hours on end! Eric's music touched us like no other artist has ever done. Two big thumbs up to this up and coming star.

His lyrics really moved me last year when I found myself in Portland and happened to be in a club where Nelson was performing. I have been waiting for this CD ever since and am not disappointed. Light Years is an excellent recording!

He's the man, all right.

A great combination of Midwestern introspect and West Coast melody. Can't wait to see Nelson's show when he comes through Chicago.
