Nathan Hamilton & Band at the Take Root 'Americana' music festival in Groningen (Netherlands) on 04Oct08.

NH was born and raised in Abilene,Texas. But his parents were both from East Tennessee, so bluegrass and mountain music were a big influence. The storytelling tradition was deeply instilled. He grew up hearing family stories about tobacco farmers, soldiers, preachers, moonshiners and more. All of these relatives and tales would shape the imagery and ideas in much of NH's music when I began writing. Nathan grew up in the church so biblical themes would begin to make their way into his songs as well.

Nathan's older brother was always turning me on to new music, everything from Elvis Costello to Jimmie Dale Gilmore. He is a musician and played in many rock and blues bands throughout Texas. He played bass with Texas guitar hero, Jesse Taylor in his band, Tornado Alley.
Nathan wrote: "When I was in high school the band came through and stayed at our house. They all slept on the floor and ate dinner with us and even came to see me perform in the school musical. It was pretty great to see this band of long haired, tattooed, road weary rockers sitting on the front row of a high school theater, hooting and hollering during the show. Then they all piled into the van and headed down the road to their next gig. I think I was hooked on the idea of traveling around playing music right then and there."

Nathan wrote on web2.nessmp3.com/bands/1168/ :
"In 1987 I moved to Dallas,Tx where I began going to art school. It was then that I discovered, through punk and new wave, a new shade of influence in songwriters like Julian Cope, David Sylvian, Ian McCulloch and Lloyd Cole. I began to write my own songs at this time blending these influences with the American songwriters I had recently discovered like Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt and Tom Waits and working to find my own voice. I started playing open mics in Dallas. My first gig was opening for Rhett Miller at Club DaDa in Dallas. I was terrified, terrible and hooked forever."
