"Derik Nelson & Family definitely exceeded our expectations. The media presentation (audio, video, stage lighting, ambience lighting) was simply awesome. Being able to achieve that experience on the road in any venue is a tremendous achievement. The song arrangements (the rhythm guitar and the complex vocals) were special. The execution of the vocals— a beautiful blend of tight, complex vocal harmonies— blew me away.”
—Mike Derrenberger, former Director of Engineering, Bose Corporation
"The impression of the evening concert from the audience was fantastic! The vast majority of the audience is over 60 years of age making the listening group two generations away from the performers. The music with the addition of the visual/musical special effects was enthusiastically received. The variety of music was excellent... particularly enjoyed the video presentation and appreciated its connection to the music being performed. The entire concert exceeded our expectations and we hope Derik Nelson and Family will return to Redding in the near future.”
—Dave & Judy Bush, Fine Arts Enrichment Coordinators for Shasta Live. Redding, California
“[The siblings] are talented, beautiful, but insanely grounded… that’s the winning combo and charm!”
—Kim Combs, Event Coordinator, Olympia Downtown Association (Olympia, WA)
“Undoubtedly, this was one of the best performances we have presented in our 25+ years of concert seasons. We would recommend Derik Nelson & Family to all audiences, large or small, young or old.”
—Jim Kloetzel, Booking, Port Ludlow Performing Arts (Port Ludlow, WA)
