When tears are in your eyes, I’ll dry them all
I’m on your side, oh, when times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down”
The Nelons are a family band comprised of parents Kelly Nelon Clark and Jason Clark and their two daughters, Autumn and Amber. From gospel classics to a cappella cover songs, the Nelons are truly a multi-talented group.

“Oh, if you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind”
