David Nelson Tickets

David Nelson is a pivotal figure in American roots rock. As a founding member of New Riders of the Purple Sage, his early work with the Wildwood Boys and the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band helped shape the sound of a generation. A versatile guitarist and songwriter, Nelson contributed to three Grateful Dead studio albums, including Aoxomoxoa, Workingman’s Dead, and American Beauty. His music blends almost acoustic vibes with roots rock, bluegrass-inflected rock, and psychedelic country-rock, creating a sound that fans describe as enduring and unmistakably American.

Today, Nelson continues to tour with the David Nelson Band (DNB), delivering a live experience that spans intimate acoustic moments to expansive, groove-driven performances. Whether you’re a longtime Deadhead, a fan of Americana, or new to Nelson’s work, secure your seats for upcoming shows at iconic venues across California and beyond.

Upcoming David Nelson Band performances bring the same warm, engaging energy that has defined his career for decades. From high-profile appearances at The Chapel in San Francisco to Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley, and a celebratory NYE countdown in Guerneville, the schedule offers options for fans across the Bay Area and Northern California.
