Nate Clendenen is a singer/songwriter/performer born in Philadelphia, PA and raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. After calling the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Sydney, Australia, and Moab, Utah his home at times over the last decade, Nate has returned to the tidal waters of the Chesapeake Bay. And of course you'll still find him... somewhere out on the endless highway.

Imgaine Toots Hibbert and Peter Rowan in a smoky jam session. Think Ramblin' Jack Elliot if he had grown up at the beach. Clendenen's influences are widely eclectic from Reggae and world music to Appalachian folk - from 60s psychedelia to alternative country.

Nate seeks to put words to the random moments in life that one will always remember to record his thoughts as a soundtrack of his life to find those tiny things that often go unnoticed. This is the stuff of great art the melody of meaningful music.

"Van Morrison in the Appalachians... Newgrass colliding with the singer/songwriter genre" - Mike Breen, Cincinatti City Beat

This sound is completely original. Although its hard to draw ties to others that have come before, Nates music has been likened to Van Morrison, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, Dave Matthews, and Ryan Adams. Music is art it helps you through it puts you down it shows you truth. Clendenen, who holds over a decade of songwriting to his credit, has toured across the United States and Australia, released several recording projects, and continues to wander the world with his guitar.
