Nate Hadley, a folk singer-songwriter based out of Winchester, VA, has been making his mark on music communities, leaving a lasting impression from the Virginias to the Carolinas. Born and raised in West Virginia, Nate recently returned home, reigniting his connection with his roots and discovering his passion in the folk genre.
Influenced by artists like Tyler Childers, Noah Kahan, Jason Isbell, and The Lumineers, Nate blends his soulful storytelling and raw acoustic instrumentation with a refreshing modern feel that highlights the honest nature of folk. Nate’s music embodies authenticity, drawing inspiration directly from his personal experiences. The allure of his songs lies in their ability to unveil genuine emotions, creating a profound connection with his audience who can readily relate to the heartfelt sentiments expressed.
“Burn My Heart,” Nate’s debut EP, comprises five tracks intricately woven together, each contributing to a larger narrative of young love, separation, resilience, and ultimately, self-acceptance. “It’s the result of profound personal reflection,” Nate explains. “These songs were born from a place of raw honesty, and as they emerged, I realized they were intertwined with my journey towards embracing my roots and learning to love myself.”
Released on June 7th, “Swallow Me Alive” marks the beginning of a six-month rollout leading up to the full EP release. The record was meticulously crafted at Gat3 Studios, with contributions from Grammy-winning engineer Glenn Tabor and National Gospel Studio Musician of the Year, David Johnson, ensuring a polished and sonically rich listening experience.
As “Swallow Me Alive” makes its way through the Appalachians, captivating listeners along the way, Nate continues to refine his craft. With his EP release approaching, Nate shares that he’s already begun writing the next one, saying, “I feel as though I have a lot more to say with my music, so why wait?” It’s clear, Nate Hadley is going to be a name to watch in the folk scene.
