This profile was edited with Thomas' Myspace Editor V3.2 Breaking up is always hard to do, but sometimes, it works out for the best. John Neilson was only 23 when he was engaged and prepared to celebrate his wedding at his mother’s farm in Mount Airy, MD on the night of August 8, 2003. As fate would have it, John and his fiancée called the wedding off and hoping to find himself, John moved across the USA to Los Angeles, CA to pursue his career in songwriting and to heal his heart. Things haven’t been as easy at is seems on TV in the Hollywood Hills, but John has managed to make a name for himself in Los Angeles and across the USA with his songwriting and performances that range from urban blues to pop, to alt-country, southern rock, and everything in between.Since moving to Los Angeles in 2004, John has managed to become a regular performer at the Legendary Hotel Café in Hollywood, as well as playing at the Troubadour, Viper Room, Key Club, House of Blues, and other staples of the LA music scene.
