Neil loves performing almost as much as he loves adventuring in solitude. Born, raised, and currently working in rural, upstate New York, Neil is a singer-songwriter and guitarist. He’s on a never ending search for the right sound, the right word, and the right story. Had he lived in another time, he might’ve been an explorer, returning only to share his findings with the world. Perhaps in some small way he’s able to do this through his songs. He enjoys playing small listening rooms as much as he enjoys large stages and as a listener first, finds his purpose in making music that can give back some small sliver of the joy and meaning he’s experienced from it himself.
Neil Minet’s Story
Neil’s musical journey began long before he ever made it a career. Some of his earliest memories include singing into garden hoses, banging on pots and pans, and a vague recollection of watching Bo Diddley play through a thunderstorm. His earliest roots are in the blues, his earliest guitar lessons in folk/Americana, and his earliest gigs playing bluegrass and rock ‘n roll. Somewhere between those genres is where Neil began his journey, and his final destination: unknown.
