Meet the Guest:
Nat Myers is a Kentucky country-blues and roots musician. Nat’s debut album, Yellow Peril, produced by Dan Auerbach and released with Easy Eye Sound, is filled with jumping blues songs, while also paying homage to his folk roots as well. One can tell Nat is running from some danger, but also running toward something harder to define.
Full of intelligence and soul, contradiction and nuance, and steeped in his love for history and poetry, Yellow Peril reached #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts. His record remains relevant since its 2023 release.
Nat has toured across the States, Europe, and Australia, and opened for the likes of Charley Crockett, Willie Watson, Shakey Graves, Langhorne Slim, Willi Carlisle, JJ Grey, G Love, James Hunter, Vincent Neil Emerson, and The Record Company.
The blues keeps Nat moving, and the music to come is sure to build from his momentum.
“I’m always searching,” he says. “Itinerancy is something that I’ve owned. I’ve done a lot of traveling, it’s seeped into my songwriting and my music. Life just feels simpler on the road. You’re just trying to get to the next place in one piece.”
Special Guest: Rebecca Porter
Rebecca Porter, originally from Guam and now based in Harrisonburg, Virginia, brings raw authenticity to her music, defined by her honey-smooth voice and sharp, irreverent songwriting. Her lyrics courageously explore personal themes such as trauma, discrimination as a Pacific Islander woman in rural Virginia, and the complex challenges of motherhood.
Her musical journey began over a decade ago as a member of local cover bands, where she honed her skills and gained local acclaim. However, it was during the pandemic that Porter redirected her creative energy, eventually releasing two EPs: “Prime Rainbow Conditions” and “Queen of the Local.” The latter marked a pivotal move towards independence, propelling Porter to national and international recognition through her grassroots efforts.
Meet the Host:
Trent Wagler, lead singer and primary songwriter of The Steel Wheels, penned many of the band’s songs in response to loss, and the uncertainty that comes with facing what we can’t control. Click here to read more about The Steel Wheels.
