This show will be open to the public and live-streamed from the 3rd Street Facebook page. NATHAN SELDOMRIDGE will be our featured performer with the show starting at 8:00 PM EST. PAUL HEILKER will open at 7:30 PM EST. The LiveStream feed will begin at 7:30 PM.
At 8:00 PM EST, we welcome Nathan Seldomridge! Nathan Seldomridge doesn’t just write songs—he carves out stories that hit like a gut punch and linger like an old memory. A seasoned guitarist and singer-songwriter with over 20 years of experience on the guitar and nearly a decade of live performances, he blends the grit of John Prine, the raw honesty of Jason Isbell, and the soul of Townes Van Zandt into something uniquely his own. Born and raised in Appalachia, his music is steeped in the struggles of West Virginia—economic hardship, addiction, and loss—and woven with threads of resilience and hard-won hope. In addition to his original work, Seldomridge delivers dynamic interpretations of songs by legendary singer-songwriters like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and the Grateful Dead, as well as modern voices like Tyler Childers and Zach Bryan. Whether he’s playing an intimate listening room or commanding a packed venue, Seldomridge delivers performances that are equal parts engaging, heartfelt, and unforgettable. Check him out at

At 7:30 PM EST, we welcome back Paul Heilker. Paul makes tender-hearted music for a hard-hearted world. He believes that language is a way of being in the world, and to create a less hostile and violent future, he says, we need less hostile and violent ways of communicating. We need to stop the verbal warfare of argument -- attacking others' views, defending our positions -- and learn instead how to emerge toward each other, naked and honest and vulnerable, and model that path for others to follow. And someone needs to go first, despite all the risks involved. In his recordings and performances, Paul thus seeks an authenticity like that of Elliott Smith and Iron and Wine – the beautifully imperfect realism of a plaintive voice and an old guitar, emerging toward his listeners.
