Welcome to Nielsens Web

Who am I?

I play bass, guitar, and sing in various setups, and I teach music at a local music school, mainly bass. Sometimes, I do studio sessions, often as an advisor, with some of the older students at the music school, but my primary role is bass guitar.

I’ve been performing my whole life. Clubs and private parties in the ’80s. Mainly corporate events in the ’90s. In the US, I played all kinds of freelance gigs with all kinds of musicians. One of my main gigs was playing shows at a theater called The Carousel Dinner Theater, back then one of the largest dinner theaters in the United States. These days I play concerts with a band called Mr. Smoking, which is a tribute band to the old 70’ies Smokie, along with playing guitar and banjo with a band called All Time Jazz Band.

In recent years, I’ve started composing songs. Over time, I’ve also begun making my own instruments, both basses and guitars.

Gardening is, by the way, one of my favorite hobbies. Not so much landscaping. My wife does that, as I don’t have much of an eye for that, but working in the garden is wonderful and relaxing, even though it can be tough.
