We Get What We Want

Nelson Bragg has been working in and around the Los Angeles melodic pop scene since leaving his native Massachusetts in early 1999. His stints in such stellar Los Angeles-area bands as The Now People, The Quarter After, The Mello Cads, Cosmo Topper, and Cloud Eleven eventually led Bragg to higher-profile gigs with artists such as Stew and, eventually, Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys (with whom he toured and recorded with for their 50th Anniversary). An all around multi-instrumentalist, it's Braggs expert drumming and spot-on vocal abilities that have garnered him the most attention. He's also a master arranger and an advanced composer in his own right, a natural musician brimming with confidence and chops (he once sat-in uninvited, no less with the great Paul Williams, and proceeded to blow the house down).'- Kerry Chicoine-earcandymagazine.com.
