Xander Nelson

Xander Nelson was born in the spring of 1994 in the small seaside city of Portland, Maine. He picked up the electric guitar at the end of the 6th grade, in a new effort to get girls to like him. Ironically, he ended up falling in love with the instrument, instead. Upon returning home from Berklee College of Music, he met fellow Berklee alum and guitarist Manny Urgiles, long-time DJ turned bassist Kristian Terison and industry veteran and drummer Chuck Martin.

The band released their debut EP "A Dull Roar" in 2017 and hit the ground running, receiving extensive radio play with the single “You Got A Problem”. Since then, the band has toured extensively, becoming known for their high energy live shows. They’ve shared the stage with Grammy nominees, national and global acts. while playing several music festivals and beloved venues throughout the east coast.

Xander and his band released the follow-up EP “See You On The Other Side” in late 2018 to great critical acclaim and significant airplay. The boys will be announcing the release of a bunch of new songs early in 2020.

Determined to break out and armed with the big guitar hooks rock music has been missing, this indie quartet shows no signs of slowing down.
