Nathaniel Rateliff

Best known for singles like "S.O.B." and "Heartless," the American musician Nathaniel Rateliff was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on October 7, 1978. Although finding Top 40 success as frontman of the soulful Americana band Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, he debuted in 2002 with a different act called Born in the Flood. They released an album, 2007's If This Thing Should Spill, before Rateliff decided to pursue solo work instead. Under the moniker "Nathaniel Rateliff and the Wheel," he teamed up with musically-minded friends to create the albums Desire and Dissolving Men (2007), In Memory of Loss (2010), and Falling Faster Than You Can Run (2013). With a change in creative direction, he formed Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats in 2013. Their self-titled debut release topped Billboard's Folk Albums Chart and went to number two on the Alternative Albums Chart. The single 'S.O.B.' peaked at number three on the Alternative Songs Chart and number eight on the Hot Rock Songs Chart. EP 'A Little More From...' followed in 2016 before the second album offering of 'Tearing at the Seams' in 2018. 'You Worry Me', the lead single from 'Tearing at the Seams', topped the Adult Alternative Songs Chart in 2018, with the album narrowly missing out on the top ten of the Billboard 200. In 2020, Rateliff released the solo album And It's Still Alright. The record reached number 78 on the Billboard 200 and number 2 on the Folk Albums chart. He continued to perform and record with The Night Sweats, too, releasing 2021's The Future and 2024's South of Here with that outfit.
