MILES NIELSEN reflects on three decades in music and how he is still growing as a musician

Text us about this show.To say Miles Nielsen has seen and experienced a lot over his three decade career in music would be an understatement. Let's cut to the chase... when your dad is Rick Nielsen, guitarist for Cheap Trick, you get inspired to follow in his footsteps but you do it your way. Miles has done just that. Over his three decade career he not only has grown as a music maker, but as a devoted husband, father, and friend. He's gone through the heartache of losing one of his closest friends and musical partners to cancer. He's played the roles of a support player and leader in bands that garnered national attention. Yet he remains grounded knowing he's fortunate to be making music with people he loves. Listen to Miles's story, his music, and even a little nugget that bridges generations."Cowbell" performed by Harmony Rileywritten by Miles Nielsen℗ 2001 Harmony Riley.
