The tour celebrates Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ fourth full-length studio album, South of Here, out now via Stax. The smash single “Heartless” from the album hit #1 at Mediabase Triple A and Billboard Adult Alternative charts, marking the band’s 7th #1 single to date. Watch the music video directed by award winning Kimberly Stuckwisch here and see the band perform the single on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, here.
The band also recorded a special for Howard Stern, in which they performed select songs from the record as well as a cover of “Dancing in the Dark” by Bruce Springsteen. Stern praises, “There’s this amazing musician, Nathaniel Rateliff…super talented, and this guy’s got a great voice too. You know who they remind me of? The Band. They’re that good.” The special aired on Sirius XM H101 and is available for viewing in full in the Howard Stern app—watch the Bruce Springsteen cover here.
The announcement of the new tour dates comes following Rateliff’s selection as the first ever Newport Folk Steward, the first artist to hold such a role at the legendary festival since Pete Seeger. The position holds a three-year term, which will see Rateliff serving as Steward actively for two years and advising the next recipient during a third transition year. Rateliff has chosen to devote his term to artist advocacy, fellowship and mentorship both at the Fort and beyond.
Critical acclaim for Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ Live Show:
“One of the most powerful voices in folk music as his gruff baritone is able to expand in range and fill up an entire room without a microphone…It will give you chills,” – Chicago Tribune
“Rateliff and his 7-man Night Sweats churn through a fast-paced set of tight, taut, heavy-grooving soul-rock; the band clad all in black, filling the balmy air with electric energy… the man’s got one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most versatile voices.” – relix
“One of the few singer-songwriters in the country who could pump foot-stomping energy through the venue with the Night Sweats and then have an audience in tears with heartfelt solo material.” – Westword
Born from the rock clubs in and around Denver, CO., Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats have released three LPs, two EPs, and a live album. Since their 2015 self-titled breakthrough album, the band has established themselves as generational talents through their ecstatic and dynamic live performances and a growing catalog of essential studio recordings. South of Here is another mighty leap forward. Bound by the struggle for identity and the search for belonging, it reverberates with the understanding that we’re all in this beautiful mess together.

Critical acclaim for South of Here:
“The band’s fourth album, South of Here, levels up the Rateliff’s Denver collective to arenas, so it comes as a delightful surprise that the album is also the most intimate offering from the group to date. Rateliff rhapsodizes about youthful wandering, middle-aged loss, and lifelong searching for connection and meaning with his gentle rasp that sounds more nimble and inventive than ever.”
“South of Here is the most fully formed and emotionally dynamic statement from Rateliff and the Night Sweats, a collection of warm reflections and meditations that aren’t bashful about wearing their influences on their sleeve.” ★★★1/2 – Rolling Stones
“Rateliff’s R&B/Americana octet continue the songwriter’s journey of radical authenticity, inviting listeners to see themselves in the songs. South of Here is another classic Night Sweats album, filled with vivid storytelling and moving musicianship, as the band continue to forge an ongoing relationship with others.” – Exlaim!*@#
“There are two different Nathaniel Rateliffs. One is a powerhouse singer who leads the gritty rock ‘n’ soul styling of Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats. The other is an introspective singer-songwriter who in recent years has helmed tributes to Harry Nilsson and Leonard Cohen. On his new LP with the Night Sweats, South of Here, Rateliff brings these divergent musical personas together to create an album unlike any other in his discography.”- No Depression
