Singer/Songwriter Nathan Evans Fox Writes Songs Providing Respite And Love
Show Notes

Nathan Evans Fox is an accomplished songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. His fourth album, Wasted Love, ignites joy, nostalgia and solidarity, shifting simmering anger and contemplative reflection to wry wit and unexpected sass.

Writing the album in the midst of all this loss and uncertainty, Nathan wanted to write songs that would provide respite. In this sense, Fox’s music is all about work: blue-collar work, care work, reflective work. 

"We need music to do work for us that we’re too tired to do ourselves. Our feelings are spent and our ability to do work is exhausted and we just need somebody to put some good feeling back in our body," Nathan said.

Nathan was trained as a hospital chaplain and his songs draw on his proximity to grief, his struggles with religion, his love of place, and a fast commitment to reflective work.  A must listen!
