Home To Pianist Michael Nelson

Michael Nelson is an accomplished and nationally renowned pianist, entertainer, composer and recording artist who was born in St. Paul, Minnesota. When he was five years old his family moved to the beautiful wooded and rolling hills of rural Vasa, Minnesota. In 1999 he started Vasa Valley Music and in early 2003 he created his new touring company VVM Entertainment.

Michael's first performance, at age eleven, started in his country church. Under the encouragement of his piano mentor, Archie Swenson, he developed a true appreciation for acoustical instruments. While attending Mankato State College he studied music theory and composition. In 2002 he wrote a special composition for his son’s wedding entitled "A Fathers Love" which has received warm radio play around the country.

If you enjoy traditional and contemporary piano music played with a classical flair, you will find Michael’s Live Performances and his Fireside Piano Collection a delightful listening experience. While you are visiting our website please take time to listen to his music, check out his CD's and review his shows.

In 2006, Michael founded the United Impact Foundation to further music education and support families in crisis and disasters as well as supporting alzheimer's research.
