Sense of Place: Nathaniel Rateliff is cultivating a new crop of Denver talent

There are few bands more enmeshed in the Denver music scene than Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats.

Rateliff started out playing in the city in the early 2000s, and now, he’s helping nurture the next generation of musicians there with a venue he co-owns called The Skylark Lounge. That’s where we met up with Nathaniel to record today’s session, as we kick off our brand new Sense of Place: Colorado series.

Coming up, Rateliff performs live and he talks about writing his latest album, South of Here, in a bat-infested room; about dealing with anxiety; about the impact of his breakout hit “S.O.B.”; and about his journey to Colorado with his longtime friend and Night Sweats bassist Joseph Pope.
