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), Lindsay Taylor (mandolin, fiddle) and Karina Wilson (fiddle), combines insightful songwriting and textured arrangements with tight vocal harmonies to achieve their unique blend of acoustic music.

Hailing from the Northern New Mexican towns of Glorieta and Santa Fe, each of the three members of Glorieta Pines has been making music with a variety of artists and bands for years. The Glorieta Pines project 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, carrying Glorieta Pines’ original songs to new heights.
