Nelson at the Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater

As the seventh generation of entertainers, they uphold a tradition of excellence that has spanned over 120 years. Rising to fame with their self-penned debut album After The Rain, they captivated audiences with their iconic looks and distinctive harmonies. Their chart-topping single "(I Can’t Live Without Your) Love and Affection" made history, securing their place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the only family to achieve number-one records across three successive generations.

Born into entertainment royalty, their grandparents, Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, were household names in television, while their father, Ricky Nelson, was a groundbreaking rock artist and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. Inspired by their father’s success with hits like “Garden Party,” the twins began their musical journey at age five, playing original songs on their family farm. By 12, they were performing in L.A.’s punk and new wave scene alongside acts like The Knack and The Go-Go’s.

After their father’s tragic passing, Matthew and Gunnar redefined their band, emerging with a polished sound blending rock, pop, and country influences. Their perseverance led to one number-one hit, five top 10 singles, four number-one MTV videos, and over five million records sold. With electrifying performances and timeless songwriting, Matthew and Gunnar remain global icons, representing resilience, talent, and the enduring appeal of the Nelson legacy.
