Nathaniel Rateliff has been on the road for the past several months performing songs off his debut album, In Memory of Loss (Rounder), which the New York Times described as "more existential than confessional, slinging images rather than stories, with hints of both Leonard Cohen and Dave Matthews." Rateliff has been converting new fans at each stop.
Of his recent performance at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee, The Onion wrote, "Rateliff delivered spine-tingling and emotionally potent numbers like 'You Should've Seen The Other Guy' with delicate force."
Now, Rateliff and his band are ready to start topping bills across the country, and his performance on the nationally syndicated radio program E Town will be broadcast July 7 to 13 (check www.etown.org/findstation.php for a broadcast time and date in your area).
Here's what critics are saying about the live show and new album:
"Nathaniel Rateliff killed it!" - Brooklyn Vegan
"Nathaniel Rateliff played a rip-roaring set of blue-collar folk-rock." - Vanity Fair
"[He's] in the same league as Bon Iver and Jeff Buckley, he's proven himself worthy of such comparisons." - Westword (Denver, CO)
"Nathaniel Rateliff's newest LP In Memory of Loss (out now) rings with the ease, tenderness and lightness of heart that often mark a new romance." - Paste (Best Of What's Next)
"Rateliff's star is on the rise and this should be a monumental year for the Denver artist." - Boulder Daily Camera
