Nathan Bell
GBP10.00
Nathan Bell is a mesmerizing live performer who borrows from traditional musical forms and the literary traditions of writers like Jack London, John Berryman, and Studs Terkel to produce moving pictures of the American experience.
“It’s all powerful stuff and Bell is spellbinding on stage, a true sage for these troubled times.” - Paul Kerr- Americana UK/Blabber n’ Smoke.
He will be touring in support of his new album, "Red, White and American Blues (it couldn't happen here)." In 13 original songs, featuring guest appearances by Patty Griffin, Regina McCrary, and Aubrie Sellers, the album takes the listener on a journey, from the Dead Thumb Blues of South Texas, through Swamp Music, American Roots Rock, and West Coast Spoken Jazz Poetry to the Folk stages of London.
"Sometimes a solo artist can knock your socks off and Nathan Bell is one of these. With a voice and songs sitting alongside the likes of Townes, Guy Clark, John Prine etc.. Really!! - this guy's songs and voice hit you with a clarity not often encountered. Sharp edged songs, a voice of gravel and grit and whiskey and some rather accomplished guitar playing makes this guy pretty special." - A Box of Birds, New Zealand.
