Now a major motion picture!
Tuesday, July 12, 2011 at 11:31AM Hi kids!
Hope things are well for you in the land of the interwebs… full of smiley emoticons, well-liked status updates and all that. :) I ran a Facebook poll a couple of months ago asking the question: "If I was to make a music video, which song from Sooner Or Later would you most like to see?" The resounding winner out of 7 possible choices was Who The Hell I Am . Well… er… turns out it was a trick question. 'WTHIA' definitely needs its own vid, and I'm sure it'll happen soon, but one such option not on the list was my simple lil' ballad Beautiful You. After a bit of research and comments from some industry-pro-type-people, it seems to be the right pick for single number 1 from Sooner Or Later.
Behind the video.
So, how does one go about making a music video? Simple really. Take one upright piano, place it in a stunning location, hit play on the track, then roll cameras. Okay, there was a little more to it than that… and I have writer/director Josef J Weber to thank for pulling a fantastic team together, doing the hard yards and making it all happen. It's still in post-production and shouldn't be too long before it's released, but in the meantime you can check out a few behind the scenes photos on Josef J Weber's blog.
Back to the Big Apple.
New Yorkers! I miss you! Good thing I'm heading over for couple of shows this weekend to add to your summer soundtrack. Joined by my good mate and fellow singer/songwriter David Raleigh, we'll be playing the hipster-friendly Rockwood Music Hall this Friday 15 from 8:30pm. Entry is free, RSVP on Facebook. For the more cocktail-minded, you're invited to join us at the fabulous Duane Park this Sunday 17 from 8pm. Both David and I will be performing songs from our albums, each with our own band. Here's your invite.
Thanks for the support you've shown so far for Sooner Or Later. These songs were made to be heard, and stoked that people like your kind self are doing exactly that! Win!
Until next time... Love, Nathan

Hi Nathan
I wanted to touch base. We met at the EOFY voice drinks in Sydney and I was lucky to get a copy of your album. Wow it's a real gift, fabulous arrangements, chord progressions and a great sense of melody. Bubblewrap is a SINGLE and Sooner or later a great pop anthem.
Pop music is all about tension and release...well done and many thanks.
Can't wait for your next Sydney gig.
