(Singer/Songwriter/Composer) Nathan Hale began writing and performing music around age 15. Nathan played in multiple alternative rock and worship bands as a bassist, guitarist, drummer, and vocalist. In 2002 he recorded his first original track in his college dorm room--and things have never been the same since. Writing, recording, and performing music has become one of Nathan's greatest passions, and he strives to share the gift of music and good art with everyone when he performs. As a lyricist, Nathan's goal to create simple but meaningful poetry that guides the music. As songwriter, his intent is to design accessible, yet artistic songs that bring something more than self-indulgence to the table. Nathan's influences range from Palestrina to Pearl Jam, and from Sondheim to the Smashing Pumpkins. The projects you'll find here at Autumn Street Records focus on acoustic alternative sounds, however he has also composed for brass quintet, string ensembles, and vocal groups. Nathan blogs regularly about music, Christianity, and his more formal composition projects at http://nathanrhale.com.
