The experience of of the this gig would have Nelson Jenstad performing seated with a guitar or two, a medium to small sized combo amplifier and a board of effect pedals. Jenstad uses echo and delay effects (among others), to produce rhythms and patterns to develop into improvisational entertainment. Expect interesting and everchanging patterns of music. Music will come to stopping points and begin again in a new sound in 5 to 10 minute intervals. If a small PA and mic system system is needed, Jenstad can provide along with his event. Typically art gallery performance and certain atmospheric productions will not require speaking to an audience. For more of a concert style event, the ability to speak to the audience may be desired. This solo event is not an event with singing or vocal performance. Rates may vary depending on the type of event.
Nelson Jenstad is a multi-genre music composer and creator. History of original performance by Nelson Jenstad includes Saddleback McKinney Theater, the Whiskey A go-go, Japan Center San Francisco, Laguna College of Art and Design, The Art Affair Festival in Laguna Beach.
