So awesome seeing our girl @rozzicrane tear it up in Seattle last night!! Go check out her new record if you haven't yet-- it's stunning ❤️❤️❤️ (at Neptune Theatre)

If we didn't look so sporty, this would make a killer album cover for a 70s folk duo record. I would title it "Bridge Brothers" 👱👱❤️ @daltennelson (at Mount Rainier National Park)

To be successful creatively, you must be open to exploring the art of collaboration with a variety of unexpected partners.

She's having a very introspective day; a lot of existential questions to ponder while solemnly looking out the window.

Very proud to represent my mom @maritnelson today at the U.S. Immigration Services Naturalization Ceremony! We sang the national anthem for an event recognizing naturalized citizens, and while I feel tremendously privileged to have been born a U.S. citizen, I have an immense appreciation and connection to mom's Dutch heritage and the sacrifices she made to start a family and a life in America. ❤️🇺🇸 #huphollandhup

Happy #musicmonday! Today I wrote and recorded this little song "#1000 places" using a brand new app called #Trackd! It's a way to do multitrack recording on the go right from your phone, and I'm really excited about having a new way to capture ideas and share them... AND WE CAN COLLABORATE!! Add me on Trackd (I'm @deriknelson) and send me something to sing or play on!
