Nate Davenport

Life is big : Music should match it :: I make that music

My name is Nate Davenport, and I make music because I love people. Im over-trusting, idealistic, and naive, but Im also inspired, inspiring, and infectious. Im also discerning and entrepreneurial, however, completely handling the business end of my endeavors since my first gig in 2003. I love paradoxes, like the name of my 2009 album, Sweet Disaster, and like the music business.

Im passionate about both aspects of that title: music and business. In regard to music, I released my debut offering in 2009, titled it Sweet Disaster, and then sought to become an expert in the latter part business. Since then, Ive

- Played over 250 shows in support of it, both regionally and on national tour
- Been featured on nationally-syndicated radio show Kidd Kraddick in the Morning
- Shared stages with the likes of Good Charlotte, Avril Lavigne, Rihanna, and The Rocket Summer
- Been featured on powerhouse blogs like Kings of A&R
- Helped other indie artists via my contributions to IndependentRockstar.com
- Sang The Star-Spangled Banner in front of 13,000 people at a few San Antonio Spurs games
- And most importantly, connected with audiences in settings ranging from an airport terminal to the AT&T center

That stuff is yesterday, boring. Lets talk about tomorrow. Im writing new material, which is my best yet, and I cant wait to record and share it with those with whom Ive connected so far. I released the lead single, Comearound in February 2011 to a stunningly positive response. Im embarking on a guerilla-style, house concert tour this summer, booked directly with my fans in the southwest, offering intimate venues and the opportunity to build real relationships. Im working on building my team with fellow inspired and inspiring people, because I believe the business part can be just as creative and beautiful as the music.
