David Nelson has been away from performing for over a year, dealing with some health issues. Last night he returned gloriously to the stage, with the full David Nelson Band!
It was a California Kind show, which features Barry Sless, Pete Sears and John Molo (all 3 also of of DNB), as well as Rob Barraco and Katie Skene.
The show became a benefit for the fire recovery efforts, and then it was announced that David Nelson would be sitting in, and Mookie Siegel would also be joining, making the DNB line up complete.
In the clip above Wavy Gravy introduces David and you can hear the emotion in the crowd! David is very happy to be playing once again, and they launch into rousing “Rocky Road Blues”

The musicians include:
“Steve Block Allstars”: Melvin Seals, Greg Anton, Stu Allen, Robin Sylvester, and guests.
