About Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats
Drawn by the city’s growing indie and folk music scenes, Rateliff moved from rural Missouri to Denver in the 1990s and quickly became a part of the closeknit musical community, performing in small clubs and local festivals.
When Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats formed in 2013, they quickly became a global phenomenon with their electrifying mix of soul, rock and R&B. The band first broke through with their self-titled debut album, featuring the explosive hit single “S.O.B.” The record achieved international acclaim, earning gold and platinum certifications while introducing audiences worldwide to their high-energy, horn-driven sound.
Over the past decade, the band has released a series of acclaimed albums and EPs, including Tearing at the Seams (2018), The Future (2021), What If I (2023), and South of Here (2024), which won Album of the Year at the 2025 Americana Awards. Their work has been praised for its raw emotion, timeless craftsmanship and celebration of human connection. Beyond the music, Rateliff and the band are deeply involved in community and philanthropic work through initiatives like The Marigold Project, which supports nonprofit organizations addressing economic and racial justice.
As part of their ongoing commitment to their home state, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats is also donating $1.00 from every ticket sold for the December 10th and 11th shows to Colorado Music Hall of Fame.
