Nelson Bragg (born August 14, 1961 in Dover, New Hampshire) is a drummer, percussionist, and vocalist from Rockport, Massachusetts.
Bragg played in several bands from 1979 to 1999 including positions as a pit drummer for over 20 stage musicals. (Emerson College theater in Boston, New London Barn Playhouse, New London, NH among others) His bands include the horn-driven/post-punk dance band Big Noise (1981–1987, Woodstock, New York) and Farmhouse (1989–1992), a harmony-based folk-rock group based in Northampton, Mass. Bragg moved to Los Angeles in 1999.
In 2000, Bragg finally found a successful path joining several L.A. pop bands that include The Now People, The Quarter After, Twenty Cent Crush and Cloud Eleven. In 2001, he joined Stew for his Naked Dutch Painter CD and played subsequent shows and residencies promoting it. That CD was Entertainment Weekly's "Album of the Year" for 2002. He also played with The Negro Problem, Stew's former band and alter ego. In 2003, Nelson got the call to join Brian Wilson's band as percussionist-vocalist to perform Wilson's unreleased album Smile. That February 2004 premiere in London and tour was followed by a formal recording of Smile, released in September 2004, winning a Grammy award, in the "Best instrumental" category ("Mrs. O'Leary's Cow" featuring Bragg on virtually all of the whistles and sound effects at the top of the piece.) In 2005, the Smile two-DVD set was released featuring a full-length documentary of Brian Wilson's Smile story and the making of it both in 1966-67 and newly in 2004. That documentary aired on Showtime in October 2004 and was directed by Beach Boys and pop authority David Leaf. A live concert performance of Smile is featured on the second disc.
