Nelo formed in Austin, TX but quickly made the move to Athens, GA to reap the benefits of its ever-developing music scene. Since arriving to Athens, the band has already begun to turn the heads of both club owners and fans alike. The music is acoustic-based and layered with the melodic sounds of the saxophone and electric guitar. Nelo has tight songs that have been described best as joyful and emotional. The band packs its shows with a combination of original pop-rock songs and powerful, condensed jams that are both intriguing and danceable. Nelos music is as diverse as its many influences, which come from all genres of music.

The 30th anniversary of Pecan Street keeps it weird with five stages and 20 locals. Saturday beams with Bill Baird’s Sunset, the Lemurs, Ume, Attack Formation, Daniel Francis Doyle, and more before setting off fireworks (literally) with Grupo Fantasma at 8pm. Sunday sets an ethnic vibe with a Latin stage, St. Edward’s Ballet Folklorico, and Sabaya Belly Dancers, plus a country stage for good measure (the Moonhangers, Texas Sapphires, et al.). See www.oldpecanstreetfestival.com for complete lineups. – Darcie Stevens more at austinchronicle.com
