Showcasing:
Nathan Bishop – Singer/Songwriter
“Iconoclastic”. “Soulful”. “Real”. “Vivid”. These are some of the words that have been used
to describe 407 Records recording artist Nathan Bishop. Bishop is a force on the rise in the
Canadian independent music scene. His musical journey has crisscrossed genre boundaries
including Rock, Hip Hop, Celtic, Folk and Spoken Word poetry. The driving creative force
behind one of Canada’s premiere Celtic band’s “Celtae”, Nathan is never content to rest on his
creative laurels. If Celtae is the project to honour the traditions of his Cape Breton roots,
then the Nathan Bishop solo project is his chance to synthesize his diverse musical influences
into a sound that is simultaneously fresh and nostalgic and unmistakably Nathan. You will feel
elements of Tom Petty, Neil Young, Jack Johnson, the Cranberries, Wyclef Jean, Everlast and
Stan Rogers in this show. The songs and poems range from the sexy to the political with an
infectious, laid back, head-bobbing groove. Singer, poet, multi-instrumentalist, MC, scholar,
however you choose to refer to him you won’t forget the first time you saw a Nathan Bishop
show. Website: [link=http://www.nathanbishop.com][Link][/link] (not yet launched)
