Nate Bergman –  teams up with Dying Wish’s Emma Boster for Death Cab For Cutie cover

NATE BERGMAN, the Nashville by way of D.C. singer-songwriter, has teamed up with vocalist Emma Boster of Oregon metalcore outfit Dying Wish. The duo have taken on a haunting cover of Death Cab For Cutie’s ‘I Will Follow You Into The Dark‘.

On the origins of the collaboration, Nate explains:

“After a chance encounter at two memorial services in New York and Los Angeles for a mutual friend, I figured out that Emma and her husband were my neighbors in Nashville and that we had a plethora of personal and professional friendships that we shared. We are actively working on a project that I can’t speak about quite yet, but the end result was beyond my wildest dreams. Emma is a powerful vocalist, writer, and consummate creative mind in the studio. So after hours of laughter, singing, and our shared love of a certain wave of emo and folk, covering Death Cab for Cutie’s ‘I Will Follow You Into The Dark’ just made sense. A sort of amuse-bouche to a very special piece of art we constructed together.”

First introduced to U.K. audiences as the frontman of reggae-influenced rock act LIONIZE, in recent years NATE BERGMAN has trailblazed a new path as a diverse solo artist embracing Americana, while not turning his back on his other loves of emo, punk, rock, and metal.

Anchored in Nashville’s vibrant music scene, Bergman‘s journey began with a passion for storytelling through song. His live performances are a testament to his talent, marked by a magnetic stage presence that captivates audiences wherever he sings.

Nearly a year on from 11 dates around the U.K. & Ireland as special guest to Chuck Ragan, NATE BERGMAN has now revealed his return to the U.K. this May and June, as well as plans for new music.

Nate says:

“My romance with the UK and live shows is nothing new. From the first solo shows of my career in Manchester and at Blondies in London, the Day before the pandemic shut the world down, to supporting Amigo the Devil and Chuck Ragan on two separate amazing tours. Having played 2000 Trees and now coming back to play State Fayre, it seems fitting to try and expand my performances by playing a few of my favorite cities as a headliner. I think the world needs community, art, and love more than ever, so I’m going to make sure that for these shows we get a little reprieve from the chaos and uncertainty, and take a moment to sing, laugh, and cry together. See you very soon!”
