Jon Nelson's first performance for kids was over 14 years ago...

His good friend Kristine asked him to sing in her classroom and Jon was happy to help her out. He knew a couple of Sesame Street songs and could handle the lyrics to "B-I-N-G-O", but he needed more of a repertoire for this debut children's gig. He sat down and wrote some songs that he thought the kids would like. When the day of the sing along came, Kristine's kindergarten had a great time, and Jon had an even greater time. After that, he received his Masters in Education, kept writing fun & educational children's music, and sang with kids at any pre-school, day care, or birthday party he could find. He found out that writing & performing music for young children was both challenging and extremely rewarding. Kids were a great (and honest) audience!

Now, over 800 performances later...

Jon Nelson has become a mainstay in the national children's music scene.  An award winning songwriter and performer, he's sung with audiences across the country, both as a solo artist, and with his rockin' children's band "Jon Nelson's Rockin' Kids' Review". 

His fresh, exciting and innovative original songs have appeared on several nationally distributed compilation CDs and his music is heard on radio rotations in the United States and abroad. In 1998, his original song "Can You Feel It" charted in several European markets. His original children's CD, "Great Songs for Great Kids", is a consistent seller from coast to coast.

Jon Nelson's unique performances for kids and their families are rooted in his love of rock & roll and  his sincere desire to help teach our children through fun and interactive music.

Jon and his wife Beth live in Rhode Island with their great kids; Ben, Evan & Emily
