Songwriters in the round with three amazing artists.
Nathan Hamilton: Nathan Hamilton is an Austin,Texas based multidisciplinary artist who has worked extensively as a musician and a visual artist. As a singer/songwriter he has been performing professionally for 20 years. During that time he has released six albums on his own and two as a member of the Good Medicine Band (aka Sharecroppers). He was a winner of the 2000 Kerrville New Folk Award and a Top 5 Finalist in the 2008 Independent Music Awards. Nathan has toured internationally and in 2012 was selected to be an Official City of Austin Music Ambassador to Oita,Japan as part of the Sister Cities Program. www.nathanhamilton.com
Anna Tivel: A nationally touring artist with a deep love of quiet stories, Anna is beginning to carve a place for herself in the songwriting world. She was a winner at this year’s Kerrville Songwriting Contest, and has shared the stage with heroes and friends across the country.
Anna was raised in the forest and farmland of rural northern Washington and currently calls Portland, OR home. Her songs reflect both the stark colors of small town life, and the hard, sharp lines of the city. Anna’s album, Before Machines, was hailed by No Depression as “raw, yet superbly composed and executed, intelligent, personal and deeply expressive.” Her newest album, Heroes Waking Up, was produced by guitar mastermind Austin Nevins (Josh Ritter, Anais Mitchell, Kris Delmhorst). The album will be released on Portland’s well-loved Fluff and Gravy Records this spring. www.annativel.com
Greg Vanderpool: Texas-native Greg Vanderpool has been receiving critical praise for work with his bands Monahans and Milton Mapes for over a decade. His songs (which have been covered by the likes of Robert Plant) explore the spaces between stark, hazy drones, Sunday hymns and intensely rhythmic pop anthems. www.gregvanderpool.com
