Review - Nathaniel Rateliff @ the Orpheum Theatre (11/15/23)

nathaniel rateliff tour review 2023

It seems almost nonsensical to say that Nathaniel Rateliff and his 10-piece band brought an intimate performance to San Francisco’s Orpheum Theatre on Wednesday night, but that is exactly what the passionate audience received. His “And It’s Still Alright Tour” focused on Rateliff’s more sensitive solo material, rather than his high energy work with “The Night Sweats” that made him a household name. The tour that began before Covid in 2020 and was interrupted by a full band tour - was finally approaching its finish. “It took us four years to bring you this show,” Rateliff told the audience.

“For those of you who are surprised by the songs in this setlist and didn’t read the very large print about this tour, I’m sorry.” Indeed, the only Night Sweats song to show up Wednesday was “Still Out There Running.” “We never play it with the Night Sweats because it feels like it’s gonna take the steam out of the show.” Indeed, the show didn’t have a steam engine locomotive pace he’s known for. Rather, it felt like a lovely Sunday drive through the redwoods and along the Pacific coast. The songs found their power in Rateliff’s clear voice bringing home all their emotions, the elevating harmonies of his terrific backing band and the added depth of well-timed inclusions of the 4-person strings section.

“Tonight #2” saw a darkened start to the concert with Rateliff and his acoustic guitar illuminated by barely a candle’s worth of light as his haunting vocals filled the packed theater before the string section kicked in and the supporting musicians layered in their backing vocals. The lights came up brighter and the full band kicked in for “All of Nothing.” “Expecting to Lose” found a fun groove – the song’s vibe had it stagger down the street like a happy drunk walking home after closing time.

“Shroud” was delivered as the night’s first big rocker – supported by red lighting and keeping a skip pace with interludes of Rateliff and his beautiful harmonizers interspersing lines like “I’ve got no feeling about it at all” stretched out gracefully. Rateliff’s two drummer support was crucial in this song, driving the pace forward and adding layers to the rhythm. The string accompaniment of “Something Beautiful” was spectacular as the song was elevated from a piano-focused fun, frustrated love song to a symphonic expression of its possibilities.

“You Need Me” was highlighted by lighting that was reminiscent of the late 60’s – early 70’s American Bandstand with the lyric “It’s like you’re telling me now in the middle of the shit “I need you”” sung so sweetly. “What a Drag” took the crowd into a Phil Specter-like mixing with Laurel Canyon guitar sounds. After playing the lone Night Sweats’ entry of “Still Out There Running,” Rateliff stripped the sound way down with just his guitar to open “I Am,” before he was slowly joined by keyboards, and the two drummers to bring the song to a powerful end.

“These songs were huge in Germany and the Netherlands and then no one cared about them,” Rateliff joked. “But I’m excited to share them with you tonight.” With that, he launched into “Boil & Fight” off 2010’s In Memory of Loss . He was supported by beautiful slide guitar throughout the song. Rateliff dedicated “You Should’ve Seen the Other Guy” to his bootlegging great grandfather and then went into the tender “Early Spring Till” delivered with acoustic guitar and piano accompaniment and sung with a wounded howl. Indeed, Rateliff’s solo songs are deeply personal and often at least semi-autobiographical of a long, not easy journey with loss and pain dotting his path.

On the other hand, “Kissing Our Friends” was presented as a sweet take on being lonely before a gorgeous version of “Oil & Lavender” gave another opportunity for the string section to add deep emotion to a song. Rateliff delivered the song at a crawl, plucking every feather of emotion as the strings filled the nearly century-old theater (1926).

“Putting (“And It’s Still Alright”) out in 2020 was my way of figuring out how to deal with loss.” The album’s title track was accompanied by images of a psychedelic drive through a forest. “This” came forth with a spooky 1930’s style haunting song with a tango pace and vibe. Opener Kevin Morby joined Rateliff and his band for a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “There is a War” (more about Morby in a moment). Rateliff closed the set with a sparse, acoustic “Still Trying” (with its anchor lyric of “I don’t know a goddamn thing”) and a big, powerful version of “Time Stands.” Returning for the encore, Rateliff encouraged the crowd to stand and the entire audience rose for “Redemption” and its elevating chorus of “Just set me Free” followed by the closing “Mavis.”

Kevin Morby served as the perfect opener for this tour of Rateliff –  provided a transcendent mixture of energy and haunting vocals. It was at least the second time through the Bay Area this year for the prolific Kansas City songwriter who was last seen around here up on Mount Tam for Sound Summit . Morby made multiple mentions of San Francisco and seemed generally thrilled to be back in The City. He dedicated “City Music” to San Francisco and included multiple regional references within Wednesday night’s version.

Delivering songs as a trio with a fellow guitarist and drummer, Morby’s version of “This is a Photograph” – the title track off his 2022 album – with terrific energy and set the crowd abuzz. He followed with an almost spoken word version of “Five Easy Pieces” before sitting at the piano for “Destroyer” and then delivering “Rock Bottom” as he aggressively played his guitar. He finished with a sweet and slow version of “Beautiful Stranger” and received a very warm ovation from the capacity crowd.

As many conflicts raged throughout San Francisco with the APEC controversies, Nathaniel Rateliff and Kevin Morby brought forth a supreme night of inner, emotional turmoil brought forward in a heartfelt, accessible and beautiful concert that will be well remembered by those in attendance. The demonstrated the power of great songwriting and soul-filled performances to resonate inside each of us internally while pulling us together as a collective.

Nathaniel Rateliff with Kevin Morby at Paramount Theatre in Seattle | November 20th, 2023

Photos and Review by Samantha Witt

nathaniel rateliff tour review 2023

Seattle's historic Paramount Theatre set the stage for an unforgettable musical journey as Nathaniel Rateliff closed out his “ And It’s Still Alright ” fall tour on the evening of November 20th. The lights dimmed, and anticipation filled the air as Rateliff came out to welcome Kevin Morby to the stage. The audience prepared for a night of sonic magic.

The night kicked off with the mesmerizing sounds of Kevin Morby, whose distinctive blend of folk, rock, and indie captivated the audience from the first note. Morby, armed with his guitar, treated the crowd to a setlist that showcased his lyrical prowess and musical versatility. Highlights included the haunting " City Music " and the introspective " Harlem River ." The opening act served as the perfect appetizer, setting the stage for the main event.

As Nathaniel Rateliff stepped into the spotlight, the Paramount Theatre came alive with energy. Rateliff's gravelly vocals and heartfelt lyrics resonated throughout the venue, creating an intimate connection with the audience. Fans were excited to see the members of the Night Sweats joining him on stage with the addition of a second set of drums and strings! The stage was adorned with subtle yet effective lighting, which enhanced the emotional impact of each song.

Classic songs like “ Something Beautiful " and “ And It’s Still Alright ” had fans singing along to every word. The dynamic range of Rateliff's music, from soulful ballads to foot-stomping anthems, kept the audience engaged and captivated throughout the night.

The audience's response was nothing short of enthusiastic. Cheers and applause echoed through the theater after each song, a testament to the emotional impact of Rateliff's music. The connection between artist and audience was palpable, creating a shared experience that will linger in the memories of those fortunate enough to attend. As the lights faded and the last notes lingered in the air, the audience left the Paramount Theatre with hearts full and spirits lifted, grateful for the privilege of witnessing such a remarkable musical journey.

Tuesday 17th February. The Forum. Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats. Had this album six months and after missing out seeing him live last time in London I wasn’t missing it again.

Like Josh Tillman, Rateliff’s early albums are low key folk outings but both have reinvented themselves recently with Rateliff going down the sixties soul route to great effect.

Rateliff is from Missouri in the heart of America and brings with him tonight his six piece band the Night Sweats. His sweet soul voice has a hint of Sam Cooke and its appropriate he covers ‘Having a Party’ as the set closer but it’s also so much more than that. It’s got a deep earthly edge to it that provides a wide range to the songs.

Pretty much the whole of the album is played along with a couple of newer songs and there’s no filler as they rattle through the set. There’s genuine warmth between the crowd and the band who are genuinely appreciative of the response they get. There’s always a danger with contemporary soul bands that it’s little more than sixties pastiche and borderline tribute but there’s no such worries tonight as the quality of the songs elevates them from the run of the mill.

Expected highlight of ‘SOB’ but ‘Look it here’ hits the marks. Special mention to the livewire trumpeter who didn’t stop moving and dancing while still playing the trumpet often one handed. A real cool dude. Also props to the organist. I am sucker for a Hammond and this guys rocked it and was a fine harmonist too.

A thoroughly great evening. Catch them before they get too big.

Great performance by this band. Can't wait until this band gets another album out. Highlight of the show was a rendition of Leonard Cohen's Chelsea Hotel #2 which was performed solo by Nathaniel Rateliff. But all around high energy from this band. They had a horn section which I thought was just perfect. Not enough bands have them nowadays. They seem like a band you would hear in the mid 70's in a honkey tonk. They remind me of The Band a bit in their traditional ways. After the show the band attended the merch booth to meet the fans, but I had to drive an hour and get up early in the morning so I couldn't stay unfortunately.

More than I could even have hoped for. These guys are amazing performers and put so much feeling and soul into their music. I love that everyone in the group got a solo and that there were so many instrumental jam moments. Nathaniel Rateliff was not only incredible vocally (to put it lightly because his voice is seriously powerful), but was also hilarious, danced like crazy, and took the time to high five all of us in the front row. He seemed so happy to be there with us and truly happy to be performing. The little details make it so worth seeing them live. You feel like a part of their family.

The most talented singer/songwriter I've seen live. What a performance from the band!! The crowd was buzzing!! Really cannot rate them high enough. My partner who doesn't dance couldn't stop tapping his feet. The support artist, Reverend Deadeye is also a true talent. Will definitely be going to see them again. Thank you Songkick, for making it simple to purchase tickets & collect at venue- considering I'd lost original confirmation :)

DonnaBee’s profile image

The support group were too loud, there sound system was excruciating!! Couldn’t hear a word they said or sang.....

Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats were awesome, it was unbelievably too, the professionalism of the band, their musicality is second to none. they dont need a warm up band, we just want to hear and see them. More concerts please?

Can’t see them perform live enough in my life.

Thank you, thank you

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats met and exceeded expectations with a phenomenal concert. Rateliff filled the Regent's sold out crowd with his soul & R&B style, having the entire crowd shouting "WOAHH! WOAHHH!" for more for two full minutes before having the band come out for an explosive encore.

A fun concert with blistering energy. Can't wait to see him again, and "get him a drink."

michael.goldsmith’s profile image

I'm picky when it comes to live shows. Probably because I've seen so many in my lifetime. Nathaniel Rateliff absolutely rocked! The band is amazing, from the sound to the showmanship - this was a great show. The venue was just a perfect size. My biggest selfish fear is the band will be popular enough that it will start playing large venues, where the performance won't be as personal.

Erdnaa’s profile image

I loved the show, he performed SOB as the last song. They said thank you and walked off stage, but the whole crowd kept chanting, "Ohhhhh oh" like in the song, and they came back out and did an encore. Then they did a New Orleans style outro as the whole band walked from the stage through the front row playing the whole time and exited the venue.

christopher-wells-2’s profile image

I've been looking forward to seeing Nathaniel Rateliff again having seen him perform at Soup Kitchen a year and a half ago. Together with his new band, he did not disappoint! Highly recommended checking these guys out and I am very excited to see them again on there next European tour.

Oh and the deaf institute is a fantastic venue too!

ben-sutherland’s profile image

Great show.

Great night all round.

All their songs sang well with a good sound. My favourite songs may not be everyone's favourite but they performed all the ones l like.

Not sure of exact time on stage but l think it was nearly two hours.

Couldn't fault the show and the support act were good to

Nathaniel Rateliff Announces 2023 Solo Tour Dates

The post Nathaniel Rateliff Announces 2023 Solo Tour Dates appeared first on Consequence .

Have you ever caught yourself wishing the pandemic never happened, and that all the amazing tours slated for 2020 were never canceled? Well, you might not be able to reverse time, but Nathaniel Rateliff will help make up for everything we missed out on. On Monday, August 7th, he announced that his “And It’s Still Alright Tour” — originally scheduled for 2020 , but then canceled — is back on. Check out the full list of dates below, and grab your tickets here .

Rateliff originally announced the “And It’s Still Alright Tour” in 2019, in support of his acclaimed solo album, And It’s Still Alright . The tour was slated for nine-months and kicked off in Minneapolis on track, but nine days in, the pandemic forced Rateliff to call off the remainder of the dates. Now, Rateliff is set to relaunch the tour, this time with the help of opener Kevin Morby . Starting on November 1st, the two will trek across America, making stops in Boston, Brooklyn, Austin, Los Angeles, and more.

Promising an “intimate” evening of acoustic music, the “And It’s Still Alright Tour” will present Rateliff and his nuanced songcraft in an ideal setting. At times, it will be just Rateliff, his guitar, and his songs — at other points, he’ll be joined by “full 10-piece folk band accompaniment, including a string quartet,” according to the press release.

Tickets become available for pre-sale through Ticketmaster on different dates depending on the show — for more information, and access to the pre-sale code, sign up for Rateliff’s email news blast here . Tickets go on-sale for the general public on Friday, August 11th, at 10 a.m. local time.

Check out the full list of dates below. You can also check out a preview of the tour, thanks to a video Rateliff made in 2020 after he and his crew loaded into Town Hall in New York for a performance. The show and the rest of the tour were canceled before Rateliff could deliver his set, but that didn’t stop him from singing a few songs for the camera. Watch the video below.

Nathaniel Rateliff 2023 Tour Dates: 11/01 – Boston, MA @ Orpheum Theatre * 11/02 – Brooklyn, NY @ Kings Theatre * 11/03 – Washington D.C @ The Anthem * 11/05 – Louisville, KY @ The Louisville Palace * 11/08 – Fort Worth, TX @ Will Rogers Auditorium * 11/09 – Austin, TX @ Bass Concert Hall * 11/12 – San Diego, CA @ Balboa Theatre * 11/14 – Los Angeles, CA @ The Orpheum Theatre * 11/15 – San Francisco, CA @ Orpheum Theatre 11/17 – Portland, Oregon @ Keller Auditorium * 11/20 – Seattle, WA @ Paramount Theatre *

Nathaniel Rateliff Announces Intimate Solo Tour Dates 

Nathaniel Rateliff, the acclaimed singer-songwriter, is set to take the stage once again as he revives his intimate, “And It’s Still Alright Tour.” Joined by his friend and fellow singer-songwriter, Kevin Morby, on most dates, this 11-city cross-country journey promises to captivate audiences with its stripped-down and heartfelt performances.

The tour is scheduled throughout the month of November, following existing tour dates planned with his usual backing band, The Night Sweats.

I’m very excited to announce that I will finally be doing a tour to support my 2020 release of  ‘And It’s Still Alright ’. In 2020 we could not finish the tour we had planned. Presale happening now. General on sale Friday. Link in bio. Code: STILLALRIGHT pic.twitter.com/nsf4SWSp7z — Nathaniel Rateliff (@NRateliff) August 7, 2023

Rateliff had initially conceived a similar tour to celebrate his 2020 solo album, And It’s Still Alright . This album, a touching tribute to his late collaborator Richard Swift, was unfortunately derailed shortly after its launch in Minneapolis due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, Rateliff is resolute in his determination to bring the essence of this album to life on stage, creating an atmosphere that resonates with his fans on a profound level.

The And It’s Still Alright Tour is an eclectic blend of solo acoustic renditions and Rateliff’s performances backed by a 10-piece folk ensemble, which even includes a mesmerizing string quartet. This musical configuration promises to deliver a diverse and captivating soundscape that complements Rateliff’s evocative storytelling and emotive vocals.

For eager fans, a presale event is currently in progress, offering the opportunity to secure tickets before the general public rush. The official ticket sale for the And It’s Still Alright Tour will commence on Friday, August 11 at 10 a.m. local time for each respective venue.

Kicking off on November 1 at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Boston, the tour is set to paint the nation with its emotional melodies. The journey continues with a much-anticipated concert at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre, followed by a stop in the nation’s capital, Washington D.C., on November 3.

Nathaniel Rateliff to Revive ‘And It’s Still Alright’ Solo Tour

Nathaniel Rateliff to Revive ‘And It’s Still Alright’ Solo Tour

Today, singer-songwriter Nathaniel Rateliff announced he’s preparing to revive his highly acclaimed 2020 solo tour in support of And It’s Still Alright . After the original tour was abruptly canceled due to the pandemic, Rateliff is ready to hit the stage again, bringing his soulful tunes and heartfelt performances to fans nationwide and for the new shows, he’ll be accompanied by his friend and special guest Kevin Morby.

The tour’s revival follows a sold-out nine-month run in 2020, cut short just nine days after its kick-off in Minneapolis. The rejuvenated And It’s Still Alright tour promises to showcase the depth of Rateliff’s musical talents. Audiences can expect diverse performances, oscillating between intimate, stripped-back moments featuring Rateliff’s soulful voice accompanied by an acoustic guitar and more elaborate arrangements with a full 10-piece folk band, complete with a string quartet.

The tour is slated to kick off on Nov. 1 at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Boston, with notable stops at prestigious venues like Brooklyn N.Y.,’s Kings Theatre, Austin, Texas’s Bass Concert Hall and Los Angeles’ The Orpheum Theatre.

And It’s Still Alright was released in 2018 and remains the cornerstone for the tour; however, the shows will spotlight Rateliff’s full catalog of solo albums. Notably, And It’s Still Alright delves into Rateliff’s personal journey, reflecting his experiences as a wounded seeker grappling with pain and loss. His introspective and poetic lyrics vividly depict his struggles and aspirations, imbuing the music with a sense of hope and transcendence.

Tickets for the And It’s Still Alright tour are now available for purchase. Learn more and find tickets here .

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats Provide Musical Salvation in Milwaukee

Derek Smith

“We were howlin’ at the moon / We were shaking our hips / Danced until we flat out falling into bed.”  These lyrics from “Howling at Nothing,” a song from the band’s 2015 self-titled debut album, epitomize what it is like to attend a Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats concert.  It’s toe tappin’, earth quakin’, hip shakin’ music that captures your soul from the first note and won’t let go until the house lights are illuminated and every last bit of energy in your body is extinguished. The band’s recent show in Milwaukee was no different.  

Jumping hard out of the gate with “Suffer Me, “Intro,” and “I Need Never Get Old,” you’d be forgiven for believing the crowd – much like Jake and Elwood Blues some forty plus years ago – was immediately praying for its own musical salvation after seeing the light of this amazing band. There may not have been any cartwheels down the aisles, but the opening numbers packed such a wallop that there was little else for the fans to exclaim to each other than “The band! The band!” 

The remainder of the show was no different as the band – led by Rateliff and also consisting of Patrick Meese (drums), Mark Shusterman (keyboards), Luke Mossman (guitar), Joseph Pope III (bass), Jeff Dazey (saxophone), Andreas Wild (saxophone) and Daniel Hardaway (trumpet) – played a fabulous 90-minute set of 21 songs from each of their three albums as well as the  What If I  EP. They also performed “And It’s Still Alright” from Rateliff’s 2020 solo album of the same name, a cover of Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark,” and two new and as yet unreleased songs: the beautiful mid-tempo “Heartless” and the fiery “Time Makes Fools.” 

It is seemingly impossible not to enjoy yourself at a Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats show.  For those that have yet to experience the band live, add it to your bucket list. You will surely be enlightened.

REVIEW: Nathaniel Rateliff “What If I”

Nathaniel Rateliff – What If I  (Fantasy Records)

Nathaniel Rateliff’s new EP What If I was released a few weeks back, produced by Bradley Cook (Bon Iver, Kevin Morby, The War on Drugs) and “R.M.B.,” which is Rateliff, Meese and James Barone (Beach House). Four of the five songs were initially written for his 2021 release The Future , with one song released on that album in another version, “What If I.”

This is quite a sweet treasure. Rateliff is delving ever more deeply into his place in the world of excellent and profound songwriters. This EP moves through new territory, blending a little bit of Beatles / Harry Nilsson pop with signature Rateliff richness, and lyrics that are thoroughly philosophical.

It starts out with “Buy My Round.” This is the new song. The title suggests that it may be a whimsical barroom song, but it is anything but.  It’s a little bit of a poppy Beatles-like song that adds layers of depth with Rateliff’s noteworthy vocals and horns.  But the lyrics are steeped in meditative realizations:  “when all the time we had is dust in the wind, if I had the opportunity to tell you what you mean to me, and all I could say is “I Am.”

“What If I (Cook Brothers version)” is a stripped down version of that song that previously appeared on The Future . On Bandcamp, Nathaniel explains it this way: “I gave it over to Bradley Cook and Phil Cook…Phil arranged the piano part he wrote around just my vocal and added a simple clap. Pat, Mark, and Luke Mossman (guitar) added some extra sounds to Phil’s arrangement while we were on the road, along with shaker and cabasa from Matt McCaughan.”

“That’s Your Opinion” is another easy, stripped down song, and even when the horns make their appearance it’s still nice and easy.  “I didn’t recognize myself or the way that I spoke / Got into a round with a friend / That once told me back, back when / You were a better man when you called your shit out.” A lot of reflection.

“Slow Pace of Time (featuring Charlie Gabriel)” is a shuffly jazzy number and again he takes it nice and slow. “I find it hard to just compare to / Yet you love me, you love me / That’s all that I had ever ask / But in time, you realize the violins have stopped playing at the bottle’s end.”  Charlie Gabriel on clarinet is a jazzy emphasis. Simple and true.

“Suffer Me” is the rockin’ Rateliff that we can always count on coming out from under the surface.  Catchy and layered and hornsy. “Can’t believe now ’cause they won’t let you be / And is there any love for me? / You seem to crowd and you bend at the knees / Is there any love for me?”

Nathaniel Rateliff is evolving with more and more depth with each release.  You can count on his lyrics to be meaningfully evocative and poetic. Check this one out, sit back and enjoy it.

Musicians on the album are Nathaniel Rateliff on vocals and guitar, Patrick Meese, on drums; Luke Mossman on guitar; Joseph Pope III on bass; and Mark Shusterman on keys, with Andreas Wild, Jeff Dazey and Daniel Hardaway on horns, and Phil Cook on hand clap with Matt McCaughan on shaker and casaba, and Charlie Gabriel on clarinet.

Nathaniel Rateliff Black Deer Festival 2023 by Kendall Wilson

Nathaniel Rateliff Headlines Friday night of Black Deer Festival 2023

By Rosie Down

Content Sponsor

Photography by Kendall Wilson

As the sun set over the main stage on the first day of Black Deer 2023, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats played a commanding set to a pumped up and packed out crowd.

The performance marked a turning point in the evening. Picnic rugs were folded up and camping chairs packed away as the Night Sweats strutted on stage to rousing applause.

A raucous hour and a half, Rateliff and co took us from blue-eyed gospel to country funk and back again, effortlessly hopping between genres with ease and expertise as they brought the best of Americana to the Garden of England.

“Is the future open?” Rateliff opens with as they kick off with ‘The Future ’, the frontman Dylan-like in his intonation. Immediately, we are taken to church by the soaring brass section and rising vocals of the gospel-feeling title track of their third album. Capitalising on the crowd’s upbeat mood, the band barrel straight into ‘Look It Here ’ followed by the stomping ‘You Worry Me’

One of the tightest bands in country rock’n’roll, the Night Sweats managed to make the open air stage feel like an intimate roadhouse set. Showcasing the talent and sound of each individual instrument, as well as Rateliff’s faultless vocals, its a truly well-oiled machine that maintains a sense of spontaneity.

‘ I’m On Your Side ’ is followed by the “complete contradiction” of ‘I’ll be Damned ’, Rateliff joking as he sings, “See it's good to be out and alone in the world / Cause nobody cares, and they never did anyways”. The song’s driving drum beat is matched by the enthusiastically clapping crowd.

[object Object]

Bringing a sexed-up funk feel to the set, ‘Survivor ’ swung the brass to the fore once again, as Rateliff grooved across the stage, barely drawing breath before launching into the organ-filled ‘Baby I Lost My Way (But I'm Going Home) ’ , which perfectly suited Rateliff’s raspy riffs.

A heartfelt rendition of the Cook Brothers’ version of ‘What If I? ’ - the title track to their new EP - eases the tempo, bringing some romance to the performance, as Rateliff moves to the keys for ‘A Little Honey ’.

Halfway through the set, Rateliff took to mentioning other artists he was proud to share the stage with, announcing that although he was “halfway across the world”, it still felt like home - garnering great applause from the audience.

Reaching into the back catalogue for a celebratory and stomping ‘Hey Mama’ and heartfelt ‘Still Alright’ we also got a taste of the new era they are entering with ‘That’s Your Opinion ’ , which Rateliff described as a big internal fight with himself; “like Harry Nilsson versus The Big Lebowski’.

In quick succession came ‘Intro’ , ‘ Need Never Get Old’ and ‘ S.O.B’ , each one increasing in boisterous deliverance and crowd participation as tambourines were tossed to the rafters and gospel-like crescendos closed out the set.

Bringing the first night of Black Deer Festival 2023 to a close, the audience were well and truly taken to church: the church of Rateliff and those Night Sweats.

The Denver native will present “A Night of Leonard Cohen with the Colorado Symphony” for their Imagination Artist Series, taking place at Denver's Boettcher Concert Hall on April 5 and 6, followed by two performances with the 40-piece Wordless Orchestra in Toronto at Roy Thompson Hall on April 20 and in Montreal at Salle Wilfrid Pelletier on April 22.

“It’s so special to become friends with musicians and peers that you admire and we’re looking forward to bringing our love for each other on the road,” he continued.

Jim James of My Morning Jacket shared Rateliff's sentiments.

“We were lucky enough to see Nathaniel and some of the Night Sweats at Preservation Hall in New Orleans some years ago," said James. "Our minds were blown, our hearts were opened, and we got swept up in the joy of it all.

"We are so happy to share the stage with these fine folks for a run full of peace, love, music, and fun!”
