Rockford-based Miles Nielsen has spent nearly a decade captivating audiences with music that blends Western-influenced rock and classic ’60s soul. Drawing influences from Otis Redding’s soul and Jellyfish’s power pop, Nielsen has released two critically acclaimed albums—his 2009 solo debut and 2012’s Miles Nielsen and the Rusted Hearts. The band’s chemistry has grown over the years, transforming Nielsen’s past solo songs into vivid, full-band anthems. Raised in a musical family, Miles’ background in classical voice and recording engineering shines through in his heartfelt vocals and pristine production. His work is a testament to his talent as both a musician and songwriter.
