Del Pelson

Del Pelson is a four-piece Alternative Pop group based out of South Florida, combining catchy indie-pop melodies with the power of alternative rock. In addition to consistent performances, the group began production of their second EP in December of 2016, their first as a five piece. Shortly before the end of its recording, the group came to the mutual decision to amicably split with guitarist Douglas De Jong. Del Pelson continues forward as a quartet and the release date for the EP is set to be revealed at the turn of the year. Formed in early 2015, singer/songwriter Cal Nelson and drummer Garrett Kealer met while performing together in a jazz quintet at Florida Atlantic University. Bassist Nathaniel Spiner was then introduced through Garrett, spawning the initial trio of the band. After a year of writing, tracking, and gigging, the trio sought to expand and added Douglas De Jong on guitar and Patrick Montanari on keyboard. DP released their first EP, available on Spotify, iTunes, Bandcamp, and more, on November 19th, 2016. The release includes three studio tracks as well as six tracks recorded live at Critical Sound Studio in Miami, FL. Del Pelson has since been featured in 104.3 The Shark's Open Swim Podcast Series with Erin Lee, Miami New Times, PureHoney Mag, Imaginary Radio Network, and more. In the Summer of 2016, Del Pelson provided local support for bands such as Young the Giant, Joywave, Jr. Jr., Bear Hands, and more, at 104.3 The Shark's Undertow Jam 2016. The group has also shared the stage with bands such as but not limited to: Sun Ghosts, Suede Dudes, Mylo Ranger, Folktale San Pedro, Fireside Prophets, Lavola, Jangle Leg, Motel Talk, Alex DiLeo, Optional, Monty, The Takers & Leavers, Odd Sweetheart, Wallace, and Public Sounds Collective in venues including America's Backyard, DADA, Lincoln's Beard Brewery, Propaganda, the Funky Buddha Lounge and Brewery, and the Coconut Creek Seminole Casino.
