Wide Awake Citizens!
 
Greetings from the Sioux River Song Farm! I hope you are well. Thanks for coming to my website. The highlight of our fall performances was playing Song for The Wild, my tribute show to Sigurd Olson, at the West Theatre in Duluth. It was the featured event for the W. J. McCabe Chapter of the Izaak Walton League centennial. It was a sellout and a great time. Nice to be in a room with people who understand the importance of wilderness and the environment. My thanks to the Ikes for their efforts to bring the show to Duluth.
 
We are planning future shows at the Harbor Table in Washburn. It is now a restaurant replacing the Harbor View Event Center where we have been playing regularly since July 2017. The stage and audience setup will be different but it remains a perfect venue for us.
 
Here are dates of the coming shows at Harbor Table:
Sunday, January 21 - 3 pm
Saturday, February 17 - 7 pm
Friday, March 15 - 7:30 pm
Sunday, April 28 - 3 pm
Saturday, May 18 - 7:30 pm
Details to follow.
 
You can also catch Rowan, Otis, Jack and I at the Taphouse in Washburn on Saturday night January 13 for our annual Northern New Year’s celebration. The idea for a Northern New Year’s party was born years ago from the annual fire of the Sons of Bunyan. It would take me a long chapter to give you the story of the Sons
 
Rowan, Ed, Otis and I will be making our annual appearance at the Park Center in Hayward, Wisconsin on Sunday, February 18 at 3 pm. Go to https://www.theparkcenter.com/events/warren-nelson for tickets. Always a great time in an intimate theatre. One of our favorite gigs.
 
I am always grateful for your interest in my music and our shows. For those of you who can still play CDs, thanks for buying mine from this website. We have lowered prices on many of them. Until we meet again. Here is a verse from a new song:
 
And so gives us this day our daily breath of life
Blessed be the time we have together here on this Earth
Blessed be our friends and family near and far away
Blessings be on all the things we love

Warren
