About Nelson (duo)

Nelson is an American hard rock duo consisting of brothers Matthew and Gunnar Nelson. They are the twin sons of Rick Nelson and Kristin Nelson. The duo achieved success during the early 1990s with their debut album After the Rain, which included "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection". After the success of their first album, Nelson claimed they experienced conflicts with their record label, lack of support from the media, and the shift in music towards grunge and alternative rock. They eventually split with Geffen Records in 1995. Despite this, the duo has continued to produce and release albums independently under their own label, Stone Canyon Records. Matthew and Gunnar also perform under the name of Ricky Nelson Remembered, as a tribute to their father. They are listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the only family to reach number one record status in three successive generations (beginning with grandparents Ozzie and Harriet Nelson). They became the first unsigned band to play on the show. The duo achieved success during the early 1990s with their debut album After the Rain, that included "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection".
