Nathaniel Rateliff

In his newly adopted city, he formed the indie rock band Born in the Flood, which released its debut If This Thing Should Spill in 2007.

As he continued playing with Born in the Flood, Rateliff began writing and recording solo music. His spare songwriting took on a darker edge, and led to his debut solo album Desire and Dissolving Men in 2007, followed by In Memory of Loss in 2010, and Falling Faster Than You Can Run in 2013.

Rateliff's introspective solo music earned him a loyal following, but it was his 2013 project with the Night Sweats that began garnering more attention. Backed by a larger band and playing a repertoire influenced by soul and R&B, Rateliff released his fiery, self-titled debut with the Night Sweats on the classic soul label Stax in 2015. As they toured behind it, the band quickly gained a reputation for their energetic live shows. They released their sophomore album Tearing at the Seams in 2018.

Rateliff released his fourth solo album And It's Still Alright in 2020. He returned with another Night Sweats album, The Future, in 2021.
