KZFR Presents in Chico The David Nelson Band
Back in Chico after 5 years! 

Doors at 6:30pm, show at 7:30pm This is a dancing show with limited seating available.

UPDATE! David Nelson is still recovering from shoulder surgery and doctors are keeping him off the road for the Harvest Tour...but the show goes on... Vince Herman from Leftover Salmon will be sitting in for David with the band in Chico. They will play lots of David Nelson tunes in addition to some of the classics with Vince on guitar and vocals. It's the David Nelson "Get Well Soon" tour. Thanks for understanding.

$25 Tickets Available at the KZFR station and the Chico Paper Company both in downtown Chico or by CLICKING HERE!

Catch a DNB gig and you'll hear exploratory improvisation that's as "out there" as anything the Dead ever did. But you won't be seeing a cover band.

"It keeps all those American forms, bluegrass, blues and a little bit of jazz," says David Gans, who opened for the DNB during their 2010 Hawaii tour and hosts the nationally syndicated Grateful Dead Hour. "They're people who listen to each other and sort of architect this music together as they go.

"They're my favorite band in the universe." - Bob Minkin, a photographer who's shot a wide variety of rock and roll stars for Rolling Stone, Relix, Time Magazine and other major media, says the DNB is impossible to categorize.

"You've got your jazz, you've got your blues, you've got your country, and you have your acid rock, psychedelic or whatever," he says. "That's what I like about seeing the David Nelson Band.

"There's such variety...it's such a satisfying experience. They're basically my favorite band to see." 

This is a benefit for community radio KZFR.
