“They sang with joy together; harmonizing to make the sounds of their voices become emotionally complete.” - Daniel Donnelly, Mumble Music

 

The songs of Glorieta Pines are inspired by the happenings of the world as seen through the lens of the American Southwest.

 

The trio, comprised of Brian Nelson (guitars, percussion), Lindsay Taylor (mandolin, tenor guitar, flutes, fiddle) and Karina Wilson (fiddle), combines insightful songwriting, layered arrangements and tight vocal harmonies, achieving a unique blend of indie-acoustic music.

 

Glorieta Pines originated in 2020 as a duo between spouses Lindsay Taylor and Brian Nelson, with early performances including official virtual concerts for both the Brighton Fringe and Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2021. 

 

The addition of Karina Wilson on fiddle in June of 2022 saw the polished arrangements and vocal harmonies of the duo format expand, with extended instrumental sections and deeper sonic textures.
