Nate was born in a coastal village in South Africa, surrounded by wild ocean and mountains. He grew up his father’s guitar-making workshop and, since those early days of sawdust and wood-smells, Nate has made his own instrument and sound to go with it. His acoustic guitar Melody accompanies him in songs of love, life and lessons learned, gently dissecting and fiercely celebrating the mysterious journeys we all share as humans. “(Nate) creates an intrinsic beauty in every vocal tip and pitch…” -Rolling Stone Magazine Nate draws his inspiration from the indie-folk movement currently finding voice in the likes of Bon Iver, Death Cab For Cutie and Tallest Man On Earth, while remaining true to his first loves of the lyrical singer-songwriters of the 60’s, such as John Lennon, Nick Drake and Leonard Cohen. ----------- Nate is a part of Laika Network.

You who presume you can stay dry by Dodging all the raindrops falling Thick, try lifting up your tongue To the rain not just the sun Nothing quite so simple Was ever so much fun We all find our secrets Patient in the shadows Right there where we left them waiting No matter how far we run They run right beside us Our demons know our names Better than anyone Find me where you like to roam: Facebook http://smarturl.it/NM-Facebook Twitter http://smarturl.it/NM-Twitter Instagram http://smarturl.it/NM-Instagram Website http://natemaingard.com Download and stream my music: iTunes http://smarturl.it/NM-iTunes Spotify http://smarturl.it/NM-Spotify Soundcloud http://smarturl.it/NM-Soundcloud -------- Modern troubadour Nate Maingard’s transcendent folk aesthetic encompasses irresistible hooks, uplifting enlightenment, and shamanistic energy.
