On May 18, Nathaniel Rateliff played to a full house at Everyday Joe’s in Fort Collins. His openers, Joe Sampson and You Me & Apollo, both played solid sets to start off the night.
Rateliff was accompanied only by his guitar, and still, easily captured the audience with his intensity performance. Not a word was spoken during his show, as everyone listened intently to each note and lyric. Every song in Rateliff’s set was packed full of raw emotion and honesty. Once again he proved to the audience why he is one of Denver’s favorite singer-songwriters. Rateliff sang “Boil and Fight,” “Whimper and Wail,” and “Shroud,” from his official solo debut album In Memory of Loss. His song “You Should Have Seen the Other Guy,” was one of the best songs of the night. All in all, Rateliff’s strong solo performance made the evening enjoyable for everyone.
Rateliff started out as the front man for Born in the Flood, and later recorded an album called Desire and Dissolving Men under the name the Wheel, before recording under his own name. He has a few more shows in the United States before he goes on tour in the United Kingdom in June.
