Thursday, September 9, 2021 will feature Nelly's Echo : Nelly’s Echo is based on the premise that music is a two-way street; “It’s a give and take.” Nelly refers to the musician creating the ambiance and & Echo refers to the audience’s response to, and appreciation of the ambiance. Nelly’s Echo’s captivating storytelling and high energy performances have made him a sought- after musician all across the United States and overseas.

Nelly’s Echo was a contestant on season 3 of NBC’s The Voice where he made it into Team Christina Aguilera where she quotes: “I had so much fun listening to you right off the bat…I find you so interesting and compelling. I would love to be able to collaborate ideas. It seems like with you the sky is the limit…I want to go to a concert; I want to see the whole show.”

Nelly’s Echo has shared stage with the artists such as Trombone Shorty, Travis McCoy, Sean Kingston, & Boyz II Men to name a few. In addition, he has had the privilege of delivering a TedTalk at TedX Wilmington in the summer of 2016 to a standing ovation. His topic was titled “The Art of Winning Over a Crowd” by Nelson Emokpae.
