"We watched Charlie Nieland celebrate the release of his new album Stories From The Borderlines on the intimate stage at the East Village basement club Berlin, but in another world, his heroic guitar solos would have been right at home bouncing off stadium walls. His music taste has evolved over the years from his early love of The Beatles, which he inherited from his parents, to the days of listening to 1970s AM radio,"
"Aurora, got adept at playing Supertramp, Jethro Tull, Bad Company covers, and, with the addition of a keyboard player, went kind of crazy playing tunes like The Who's Wont Get Fooled Again. Nieland's years at Hampshire College were concentrated on studying music composition and recording, which was a natural progression as he had figured out in high school how to record himself using two cassette decks and a DJ mixer and a microphone and just bouncing back and forth between them."
Charlie Nieland celebrated the release of his new album Stories From The Borderlines on the intimate Berlin stage in the East Village, delivering heroic guitar solos that could fill stadiums. His musical evolution stretches from an early love of The Beatles through 1970s AM radio to extensive prog-rock influences like David Bowie, Yes and air-guitar favorites. He began on bass in high school band Aurora, covering Supertramp, Jethro Tull and Bad Company and tackling The Who with added keyboards. Hampshire College focused Nieland on composition and recording, building on DIY experiments using two cassette decks, a DJ mixer and microphone. He learned multiple instruments and embraced MIDI and drum machines.
