After a devastating car accident in 2004, which left him a C7 quadriplegic, Ryan “Gooch” Nelson thought he’d never play guitar again. However, despite his hands and most of his body being paralyzed, he taught himself how to play slide guitar with his thumbs by laying his Gibson Les Paul across his lap and playing the strings with a custom blown glass slide and thumb pic. With the help of his childhood friend Brian LaPann, music major at the University of Delaware, Nelson began to learn everything he could about slide guitar and guitar theory in general. His main influences include Derek Trucks, Luther Dickinson, Duane Allman, Jeff Beck, Robert Randolph, and Warren Haynes. As a songwriter, Gooch admires greats such as Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, and Ray Charles. Despite all his adversity, Nelson tries to stay positive to be an example of what you can accomplish if you work hard and focus on your goals. As a Political Science major at Salem Community College, Ryan cares deeply about the issues that face his generation. Together, Gooch and Brian have played local coffee shops and bars as the duo 61 North. Learning blues and rock covers as well as intensive focus on writing original songs based in these genres, Gooch and Brian developed as musicians and composers. With the addition of an unstoppable rhythm section in Joe Bross and Bob Comfort, 61 North has become an unparalleled force in music today.

Lyrically potent and shamelessly heartfelt, Joshua Komorowski’s tender yet edged songwriting and performance have secured his position as an artist one truly believes every word and note. A native of Philadelphia, PA, Josh has been spreading his poetic and soulful vision across the country. Whether solo, full band or 12 piece ensemble, Josh’s bluesy, funk and soul music leaves listeners breathless.
