Paula Nelson at the Hilltop Cafe (June 25, 2015)
The Paula Nelson Band at Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic
Just like lots of Americans last weekend, Paula Nelson spent the 4th of July with her dad and family, and she brought her band! Paula sang her original songs, and also honored Waylon Jennings and Mickey Newberry, and sang their songs, from the band’s album, “Under the Influence”. That album is available at CDBaby website, along with her earlier albums, too. Collect them all!
Landis Armstrong, master of the stratocaster, it’s phenomenal to watch him play guitar.
mad man Andrew Gerfers on drums & percussion
And sorry, only a tiny view of Matt Eskey on bass but he was there.
Matt Hubbard on keyboard and vocals.

Paula Nelson hangs out with her dad
Willie Nelson and Family in Colorado
“I guess I’m still playing cowboys and Indians,” says Willie Nelson here in Colorado with his tribe (from top) Connie, 39, Paula, 13; and Amy; 10. “I love to hang out in the tepee and climb the mountains around here. There’s a million places to be alone in the woods and I need that occasionally.” Nelson moved his family from Texas in 1977 “To get ’em out of the line of fire a little bit,” when his growing popularity made made quiet time with the family difficult.

Happy Birthday, Paula Nelson (the world’s a better place with you in it)

Paula Nelson, Bill Mack, Connie Nelson
“Two of my favorite Beauties: Paula Nelson and her precious mom, Connie. Paula, Willie’s daughter, is an award-winning vocalist — Connie has been my super pal for decades (No … she’s not old, never will be). I’ve never met a more caring individual. She’s always there if a friend is ill or having problems. When our good pal Ray Price was in failing health, Connie made daily calls of sincere concern. When he passed away, she made a solo trip from Austin to pay her respect for him, was one of the first to arrive at the church (just an example of many similar acts of respect and love). Both of these ladies reflect true warmth and realism. To know them is to love them.”
— Bill Mack

Rest in Peace, Bradley (8.01.1998 – 11.12.2015)
So sad to hear that Paula Nelson’s dog Bradley has passed away. He was so sweet. I got to hang out with him during a couple of Paula and her band’s shows here in Colorado, and fell in love. He was one of a kind. He was so protective of Paula. He would watch her walk up on stage, and watch her entire show. Her biggest fan, and she was his.
“It breaks my heart to bring this news….I lost my best friend Bradley this morning. He was my everything. Words cannot describe my sadness. But he left this world peacefully and he will always be in my heart and watching over me.
Love you my Bradley

Bradley came to Colorado on every tour, even in the winter. He never complained, either. Paula shopped and made sure he had warm clothes.
