Event information

A blues poet with a staggering and true voice, Korean-American troubadour Nat Myers’ folksy rootsy blues and remarkable pickin’ are authentic, timeless, and enduring. The Kenton County, Kentucky native’s delivery harkens to traditional blues giants, but it’s his unique blend of modern roots and Americana that continues to make crowds drop their jaws. He describes himself as “a young Asian cat playing old Black music.” However Nat Myers is putting a new twist on some of America’s oldest music.

A pair of home-recorded albums caught the attention of Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys who signed Myers to his Easy Eye Sound label and produced his debut album “Yellow Peril’. Steeped in history, in poetry, in old 78s, Yellow Peril nevertheless sounds current, capturing its creator’s idiosyncrasies as well as the country’s contradictions.

Alex Kirtley the troubadour songster/guitar maker from the coast, supports.
