Somewhere between a bar and the recording studio, Miles Nielsen's stirs up his own pop rock brandof Beatles-eque Cosmic Americana. Pop rock arrangements and sunny melodies tucked between a long lost country folk steel guitar floating through speakers around crashing drums, bouncing bass lines and smooth as butter keys. Born in Rockford, IL, home of Cheap Trick and 'Symbol', power pop DNA runs through the veins of his songs and performances. 13 years spent playing bars, clubs and theaters, Miles has played and performed as vocalist / lead guitarist in many midwestern bands from past to present, "<em>Harmony Riley</em>", "<em>HMS</em>", and most recently, as a member in the Appleton, WI via Rockford ensemble, "<em>Cory Chisel & The Wandering Sons</em>" – as well as his own band when time permits as "<em>Miles Nielsen & Friends</em>.". Aside from opening for acts such as Medeski, Martin & Wood, to Cake, to Moe, he also co-owns a recording studio in Rockford, IL, FUSE, that has served as the recording home to Cory Chisel & The Wandering Sons. He has worked with many artists such as Augie Meyers, Lonnie Brooks, Gabriel Reed, Cheap Trick, and The Good Year Pimps. From writing and performing his own tunes to recording and performing on other artists songs, Miles Nielsen continues to help carry out that very rare rock n' roll torch that only few can claim out loud, </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;">"<strong>that sound?... it came from the midwest</strong>."</span></div>Kickapoo Country Fairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07788793739497716863noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694459436965807575.post-48639487364540655822010-03-19T18:30:00.002-05:002010-03-19T18:35:45.786-05:00Sunday, July 24th, 2010!<div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><strong>We are proud to welcome back </strong></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><strong>Beloved Wisconsin Author</strong> </span></div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><div align="center"><br /></span><a href="http://sneezingcow.com/"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;">Michael Perry</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;"> </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong>He will be reading from his latest book <em>Coop</em> &<br />Performing with his band, the </strong></span></span><a href="http://sneezingcow.com/2010/02/01/tiny-pilot-cd/"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;"><strong>Long Beds</strong></span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;"> </span></div>Kickapoo Country Fairhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07788793739497716863noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694459436965807575.post-45916877298786513462009-08-04T16:47:00.021-05:002009-08-04T17:28:36.961-05:00Doin' it again in 2010!<span style="font-size:180%;"><em><span style="color:#663366;"><strong></strong></span></em></span><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><em><span style="color:#663366;"><strong>Thanks again for your support!</strong></span></em> </span><br /></div><div><br /></div><p align="center"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_D3Ily-he2x8/SnizFpISiBI/AAAAAAAAAJ8/X0tufUpCYLs/s1600-h/rainbow"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366235865533286418" style="WIDTH: 320px;
