Patchwork is the rotating lineup of musicians surrounding songwriter, Jeremiah Nelson. As a follow up to "Dancing on a Fallen Sky" (2005) Nelson has reinvented himself and company as the world's most versatile rock band on the new "Work and Worry" Ep, out March 1st 2007. The EP, clocking in at just under 30 minutes, covers immense stylistic territory, ranging from the gritty dance rock number "Blue, Black and Green" to the Beatle-esque jangle of "Laura Lee" and the symphonic entropy of "Chasing Down the Sun"; All the while, Nelson's songwriting imprint is unmistakable. Patchwork will be performing solo and as a duo throughout 2007. Nelson will be assuming guitar and vocal duties and doing select dates with Shawn Drake on violin. The Patchwork live show is an impressively dynamic experience. Adventurous songwriting and jazz tinged arrangements compliment Nelson's point-blank vocals and Drake's classical-meets-country wizardry.

Oshkosh singer-songwiter Jeremiah Nelson and a shifting cast of musician friends
author: The Onion
Oshkosh singer-songwiter Jeremiah Nelson and a shifting cast of musician friends make up Patchwork, playing friendly tunes that stick unexpectedly on first listen. The gentle melodies, vocal harmonies, and strings could all melt into pretty indie-rock nothings, but the production keeps it all clean and direct, and melodic. The best track on Patchwork's Work and Worry Ep, "Stolen Tulips", chugs along pleasantly on the verses and floats into a fanciful chorus, tying the peices together with a solid vocal melody and guitar hook. Live, Nelson usually plays as a duo with a violinist, and though the arrangements do add a lot, the songs should hold up nicely in a simpler format. Opening Noah Harris, Hayward Williams.
