Nathan Jacques

Nathan Jacques is an alt-country and Americana singer-songwriter originally from New England, now based in Los Angeles. Known for his deeply narrative and cinematic style, he creates songs that blend classic Western motifs and storytelling with modern alt-country sounds. His baritone voice and vivid songwriting invite listeners on journeys through richly imagined landscapes, often evoking the spirit of the singing cowboys from old Western movies. Jacques’s recent work includes the concept album *Dark Wanderer and the Bounty Heart* (2024), which tells the story of a fictional singing cowboy movie star in search of lost love and redemption, alongside earlier albums like *Loud Mind* (2021) and songs such as "The Fire Smells Like Rain" and "Shapeshifter".

Before fully focusing on music, Nathan worked briefly in the film industry but ultimately returned to his passion for songwriting. He draws from his upbringing surrounded by country and folk music, using that foundation to craft songs with emotional depth and a classic-meets-contemporary Americana vibe. His work stands out for its blend of romanticism, Western noir, and storytelling steeped in the traditions of American roots music, often accompanied by evocative visuals reminiscent of mid-20th-century Hollywood.
