The Neilsons was a Canadian country music group made up of a 5-member family. Their 1996 single "Windows to the Past" reached the Top 20 of the RPM Country Tracks chart.[1] The music video for the song aired regularly on CMT.[2] They later returned to the Top 40 with their 1996 single "We'll Hold On."[3] Tami Neilson has also developed a solo career after emigrating to New Zealand.
Some members of the family have continued with a solo singing career or have gone into music production, including Tami Neilson who has had considerable success as a solo artist in New Zealand, co-writing songs with her brother Joshua 'Jay' Neilson.
Todd Neilson runs a creative agency in Canada (Considerate Agency) which has produced Tami’s music videos through the years including her hit single “Beyond the Stars” featuring Willie Nelson.
