JAKE NELSON

"Smooth and Edgy" - Slick earned the nickname because it fits! His music comes with style. Music influences ranging from Blues to R&B he brings an interesting dynamic to the crew. Slick is The Smooth Truth 

Hailing from North Minneapolis he's seen it all. Growing up he always wanted to make music but didn't find his calling until he picked up a Fender American Strat. He is now a firm believer in Ted Vig Pickups at Vig Guitars on Snelling in St. Paul, he has Vigs pickups in 2 of his 3 guitars!! Pair that with a custom Metz Amp, from John Metz @ metzamplification.com and you got a hometown sound!! He pours raw emotion into his notes (smooth) but before you know it hes rocking a riff that's got your head boppin' (Edgy) 

Music influences from John Mayer to SRV you just never know what is going to come out of that Metz amp. 

When he isn't out shredding or creating "Banger Riffs" as he calls it he is a full time Machinist. 

  Slick brings a fun and gritty style to the band which I think blends great with the other sounds in the band. A good friend who I enjoy sharing the stage with. - Jake
