In the late 1970s, Nelson moved to Los Angeles and worked with artists including Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina. He toured with many artists, including John Farnham. While in Messina's band and opening for Little River Band, LRB's management invited Nelson to join the Australian band and he officially became a member in April 1980. In addition to playing bass, he was the lead singer of the band's hit "The Night Owls". He was absent from the band from 1996 to 1999.
