Nathaniel Rateliff is an American singer-songwriter hailing from Hermann, Missouri, who has commanded significant attention and acclaim with his resonant voice and rich, emotive songwriting. Initially gaining momentum as a solo artist, Rateliff's folk-based storytelling and raw vulnerability eventually flourished into a larger sound with his soulful rock band Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. They broke into the mainstream with the release of their self-titled debut album in 2015, which featured the hit single "S.O.B."

Rateliff's music traverses the boundaries between soul, gospel, folk, and rock, exuding a timeless quality akin to that of legends like Van Morrison or modern acts like The Black Keys. Following the success of Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Rateliff continued to explore various musical landscapes, offering an array of heartfelt tunes, evident in the poignant 2020 solo album "And It's Still Alright." Commenting on the human condition with his rich baritone and reflective lyrics, Rateliff has not shied away from collaborating with other artists or covering classic songs, adding his unique touch to tracks like "Famous Blue Raincoat" and "It's Not Supposed To Be That Way" with Willie Nelson. Whether performing solo or with his band, Rateliff's passionate performances and authentic sound continue to captivate listeners worldwide. His work, including a powerful performance in "Red Rocks 2020 (Live)" and his contribution to the Apple Original film "Palmer" with the song "Redemption," demonstrates a commitment to both musical growth and deeper human connection through his artistry.
