Neil Minet

Neil loves performing almost as much as he loves escaping to solitude. Born, raised, and currently working in rural, upstate New York, Neil is an artist, songwriter, and bandleader. He’s on a never ending search for the right sound, the right word, and the right story. Had he lived in another time, he might’ve been an explorer, returning only to share his findings with the world. Perhaps in some small way he’s able to do this through his songs. He enjoys playing small listening rooms as much as he enjoys large stages and as a listener first, finds his purpose in making music that can give back some portion of the joy and meaning he’s experienced from it himself.

Neil’s musical journey began long before he ever made it a career. His earliest roots are in the blues, his earliest guitar lessons in folk and Americana, and his earliest gigs were playing bluegrass and rock ‘n roll. Somewhere between those genres is where Neil began his journey, and his final destination: unknown
