Miles Nielsen Presents The Rusted Hearts February 14, 2012

Singer-songwriter Miles Nielsen stirs up his own pop rock brand of Beatles-esque Cosmic Americana with his sophomore album, Miles Nielsen Presents The Rusted Hearts, available nationally at digital retailers on February 14th via independent label Rotown Records. Having previously been released in a limited run at concerts and his website in the fall, the 12-tracks now make their way from the Midwest to listeners everywhere. Miles will continue touring throughout the area with a coast-to-coast tour kicking off in February (dates to be announced).

The son of legendary Cheap Trick guitarist/ songwriter Rick Nielsen, Miles calls Rockford, Illinois home and collaborates with the area’s top talent. The end result is a meticulously arranged album with gorgeous tones and thoughtful production.

Aside from opening for acts such as Medeski, Martin & Wood, to Cake, to Moe, Miles also co-owns a recording studio in Rockford, IL, FUSE, that has served as the recording home to Cory Chisel & The Wandering Sons. He has worked with many artists such as Augie Meyers, Lonnie Brooks, Gabriel Reed, Cheap Trick, and The Good Year Pimps. From writing and performing his own tunes to recording and performing on other artists songs, Miles Nielsen continues to help carry out that very rare rock n’ roll torch that only few can claim out loud, “that sound?… it came from the midwest.”
