Blending melody and emotive guitar work to create a compelling sound that carries his seemingly simple yet thought provoking lyrics.

Nathan Brailey is an acoustic artist from Melbourne, and after years of touring the East coast with folk rockers ‘The Ramshackle Army’ he is now translating his road tested storytelling into a solo project. Nathan is no newcomer to the folk music scene, and over the last 5 years of touring has played at many festivals both within Australia and abroad. Such festivals include Port Fairy Folk, Illawarra Folk, Shamrockfest (Washington DC), Get Shamrocked (California) and Echuca Celtic Festival to name a few. Nathan has also played a range of prominent rock festivals, including Cherry Rock, Blood Sweat and Beers (Sydney), and St Kilda Fest. Nathan’s solo material draws on a wide range of classic folk influences, but mainly those from the UK and American south traditions. This is a man who clearly knows his way around a Pogues or Billy Bragg CD, but subtle tones of Appalachian, bluegrass, NOLA blues and some classic C&W can all be heard too. Nathan brings both eclectic tastes and unique interpretations to his music, and his song writing style translates well to both the stage and studio. His music is both artistically and mentally provoking, ranging from loud aggressive ballads and raucous sing-a-longs, to quiet finger picked peeks at the soul. With light hearted satire and a cheeky disrespect for the status quo, his high energy but intimate live shows will leave you with a healthy smile, a rested heart, and a friend you didn’t know you knew. Whether in a quiet bar, a noisy pub, a sunny festival or a relaxed beer garden, Nathan Brailey has a song that seems fitting. Take note though, Nathan’s lyrics are catchy and may be prone to getting stuck in your head so if you get caught out singing along at the lights, you were warned!
