He has performed as a soloist and in ensembles throughout the United States, Europe, and eastern Canada, including in such venues as Carnegie Hall in New York City, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the White House in Washington, DC, and Royal Albert Hall in London.

In 1994 Steve was one of just twelve musicians in the United States to receive a Jazz Fellowship-Individual Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), which provided the opportunity for intensive private study on The Stick with world-renowned Stick/bass player Alphonso Johnson. This award was the first NEA grant given to a Chapman Stick player. Steve has also received grants from Tier III of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District of Denver, Colorado, and the Arts and Humanities Assembly of Boulder, Colorado.

KINLOCH NELSON, a solo fingerstyle guitar player, creates a synthesis of folk, jazz, classical, rock, American popular music, and original compositions. His programs range from J.S. Bach to the blues and may include references to Miles Davis, Franz Schubert, John Fahey, The Ventures, The "folk scare," Flatt and Scruggs, and the occasional TV theme. Nelson has appeared in concert at The Wolftrap Center for the Performing Arts; Washington DC’s Glen Echo Dance Theater; Maryland Center for the Arts in Baltimore; National Association of Music Manufacturers in Nashville & in Los Angeles; Montreal Jazz Festival; Art Park Buffalo, NY; Time/Warner Jazz Festival in Rochester, NY; Owen Sound Folk Festival; Akron Folk Festival; Golden Link’s Turtle Hill Folk Festival; North American Folk Alliance; Fretted Instrument Guild of America; Newport, Healdsburg, Montreal and Woodstock Guitar Festivals; and appearances in Peru, Canada and Ireland.
