Good Saint Nathanael

Good Saint Nathanael is the solo music project of Nate Allen, who combines his roles as a songwriter, therapist, family man, and former baseball player into deeply personal and emotionally honest folk punk and rock songwriting. His work is marked by raw, stripped-down acoustic arrangements that focus on poignant storytelling and grappling with life’s struggles, emotional healing, and spiritual introspection. Drawing inspiration from artists like Johnny Cash, Violent Femmes, and Tom Petty, as well as gospel and punk roots, Allen delivers heartfelt anthems and singalongs filled with both candid pain and hopeful optimism.

Over the years, Good Saint Nathanael has released a string of evocative songs and albums, including the 2024 album *I Write The Songs I Need*, which revisits demos first recorded in 2014 and speaks to themes of personal growth, resilience, and the search for new energy amid life’s hardships. Nate’s music resonates with fans of introspective folk and indie rock storytellers such as Frank Turner and The Mountain Goats. Beyond his music, Nate Allen also writes an advice column called “Dear Natey,” where he explores similar themes of healing and honesty found in his songs.
