John Nathaniel is Rock's New Frontier!

Upon receiving a friend request from yet another musician on myspace, I found this was one of those "clicks" that was definitely worth the effort. John Nathaniel is a Canadian Indie Rock/Pop/Acoustic Artist, residing in Montreal, Quebec. Having recently making the choice to "buy himself out" of his major label deal, John Nathaniel is now cruising down the Indie Rock Road. His "about me" section is written on a personal level, giving you the feeling as though he is speaking the words of who he is directly to you. I love bios like this. Although it is professional to pay someone to write your bio, I love it when Indie artist choose to post a more personal account of themselves as well.

John Nathaniel is a Singer/Song writer/ producer/mixer. His music is full of substance. Layered well with instruments ranging from piano, (his self-claimed favorite instrument) electric guitar, acoustic guitar, tambourine, and drums. I found myself pleasantly surprised by the tunes he provides for our listening pleasure. I will discuss the ones that I believe are the best, as there are many tracks on his myspace music page available for a listen.
I'll start with "Shades Of Gray." In this tune John starts off with a rockin' guitar fast paced tempo building into the song. His voice is tight and raw with a flare of rock. I really dig the flow of this song, the guitar gets me every time! Check it out.
Next, "Crash and Burn" this is just a sample of the song, but its enough for me to like, and want the song. Starting with piano, John sings his way through this love ballad with his raw rock voice in a soft way that matches the beauty of the piano. A minute into the song, intro the drums. Giving off a beat that makes this song reminiscent to One Republics "Apologize." This is a great tune. I enjoyed it, you will too!
Lastly, John Nathaniel has a cover of Colbie Callait's "realize" that is very well performed. I am a fan of Colbie and John has done her justice here. There is a youtube video of this cover available for a view on his music page.

So, have I got you intrigued enough to go give John Nathaniel a listen? If so, please visit his music page on myspace. www.myspace.com/johnnathanielmusic
