When one of the regions best axe murderers is sitting in the audience there's only one thing to do: get him onstage. Super fun playing with Bill Elliott last night at the blues meltdown in Truro. Tonight the guitar revue moves to #pictou to do it again.

Some real serious business right here. Hollywood Be Thy Name by Dr. John. produced by ol Bob Ezrin. Not strangely, I was just discussing Ezrin last week with another nerd I know. What do you think...is Ezrin overrated? #nowspinning #vinyl

Really exceptional night last night. What a meal at Barbarians. Gogo is a little close isn't he?! Maple blues awards tonight. I'm already feeling like a winner though so it doesn't matter the outcome.

Me n my pal Bob in the red wine cellar at Barbarians. Glory.

In case you've never seen 14 000 bottles of red before...

Here is a short clip of my current fav from the work we did last week. "City of Regret". Recorded sitting around the kitchen table. Harmonies added after the fact. Some of Jim bowskills finest playing in my opinion. Thanks to Paul Reddick for the chorus words. I'm still trying to raise more $ to finish this album. You can still pre order a copy among other things to buy, it all helps. Hope you dig it. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ross-neilsen-s-new-solo-album/x/13025886#/. #indiegogoperks #indigogo #indiegogocampaign #newalbum

Matt Sobb. That's him right there next to me. He literally saved the day. Literally. I appreciate his grooves and positive vibes. Thanks to scott Doubt for the image. #newalbum

These two criminal looking fellers right here. How lucky am I that I know them and that the were able to play on this new album. Both of them are top shelf at what they do. Darcy laid down the grooviest bass lines and jimmy simply destroyed any string he touched. These two are magicians. #fingeritout #yougoodEr

A million thanks to this guy right here. My friend of nearly a decade and a severely talented musician. Steve produced my latest musical effort and I was repeatedly blown away at his musicianship, guidance and vision. You never know what shape an album will take when you walk in the doors of the studio. This one really surprised me. Maybe Steve too. Very pleased with how it all turned out. #makealbumsnotwar #newalbum

One week ago I moved into a studio to live with this dude. Tonight I left with 11 songs. Still a few touch ups and then mixing to be done but MAN, I am happy. It was a long, intense, emotional roller coaster ride but we did it. Many thanks to Ken Friesen for working nearly around the clock to get this "done". #newalbum #badassengineer
