The road is this restless poet and musician’s middle name. Nat Myers is a seeker who calls The Odyssey – the endless epic of never-ending travels - an early influence. His passion for poetry opened his eyes to the blues, the music his father loved. While studying poetry at The New School in New York City, Nat took to busking to make ends meet. With some covers and a predominance of original work, he got hooked on the buzz of performance. And yeah, a little money, too.
His 2023 album, Yellow Peril, done in collaboration with The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, speaks to the pandemic-era backlash against Asian Americans – Nat is Korean American – using the storytelling methods of country blues artists to draw a picture of modern American life as seen through his eyes. It has the gritty feel of a field recording captured on a front porch, full of soul and a poet’s insight. His is a voice we desperately need as we navigate a post-pandemic world. He assures even the fearful among us that, “We all just want to have a little fun before we die/Ain’t no difference between you and I.”
