Silencer

Wilco guitarist, Nels Cline is one of the most versatile, imaginative, and original
guitarists active today. He started to play the guitar at age twelve and has been exploring jazz, fusion and alt-country genres for four decades since with an astounding ability to draw his different musical experiences together into a cohesive, open-minded, Zen-like approach to playing guitar.
Best known as a member of Wilco, which he joined in 2004, Nels is a dependable presence at Jeff Tweedy s right side during live shows, with close-cropped blond hair and nerdy good looks. He has also collaborated with Thurston Moore and Mike Watt as well as such jazz notables as Eric Von Essen and Vinny Golia. And he s forged a reputation as a top-notch improviser with his own groups, The Nels Cline Trio and The Nels Cline Singers. In February 2007, he was chosen by Rolling Stone as one of the Top 20 New Guitar Gods.
