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.
The genre-blending band closed out the Gold Record Road stage with a sizzling Sunday evening set.
Bringing the first night of Black Deer Festival 2023 to a close, the audience were well and truly taken to church: the church of Rateliff and those Night Sweats.
It's been confirmed that Bonnie Raitt, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats and more will be performing at the UK-based festival.
Bursting with soul, honesty and hope - three things he's been holding close to him these past couple of years - Nathaniel Rateliff prepares for the release of The Night Sweats new album, The Future.
The Future effectively combines provocative lyrics married to the Sweats’ trademarked attack; one that’s successful, even triumphant, and paves the way for more of the same in forthcoming endeavors.
The song which features on Price’s record ‘That’s How Rumours Get Started’ was performed with grit by the pair.
