Nels Andrews

Nels Andrews is a literary songwriter, a journeyman in the craft of melody who is here to tell you a story. One of Nels' heroes, Anais Mitchell, says of his work, "Nels is a master carver, an artist patient and obsessed enough to turn a whale of an idea into something delicate and beautiful from any angle." Nels is based in Santa Cruz, California.

Nels brings out the first single of his new record Pigeon & the Crow with a unique companion piece which takes the form of a Graphic Novella. Nels' supernatural ballad sprawls the page over a series of colorful illustrations crafted by illustrator Mike Benzce. The printed novella is the result of their unique and imaginative collaboration.
