NATE BERGMAN announces new tour, State Fayre, & plans for new EP

NATE BERGMAN RETURNS TO THE U.K. & IRELAND FOR HEADLINE SHOWS IN MAY

CONFIRMED FOR STATE FAYRE FESTIVAL IN CHELMSFORD IN JUNE

REVEALS PLANS FOR NEW EP THE DEATH OF AMERICANA

NATE BERGMAN, the Nashville by way of D.C. singer-songwriter, is a performer with a voice that transcends generations. 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, “After crossing the U.K. and Ireland for the first time alongside Chuck Ragan and Amigo The Devil, I’ll be heading back out for my first run of headline shows.

These will be smaller rooms. Close quarters. The kind where the songs can breathe.

The shows lead up to the brand new State Fayre Festival in Chelmsford on June 28th. It’s set to be the UK’s biggest gathering of Americana, rock, country, and folk music and I’m honoured to be part of the line-up.

Along the way I’ll be releasing a new EP, The Death of Americana. It’s the beginning of the next chapter, and the most visceral music I’ve put out since Metaphysical Change in 2022.”

Most recently, NATE BERGMAN released a beautiful cover of AFI’s “Girl’s Not Grey“, which aired on the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show on February 16th. You can listen to the show again here.

No stranger to a classic cover, Bergman scooped up a wealth of new fans after a compelling set at 2000Trees Festival and European shows with US star AMIGO THE DEVIL last year, where fans got to hear Bergman’s version of the My Chemical Romance enermo-hit “Helena” live on stage and his heart-wrenching, original track “Deep End“. On the studio recording of “Deep End”, Nate sings and plays guitar, with The Raconteurs’ Jack Lawrence on bass – the track was captured in one take live to 2-inch tape, with no digital editing.

Fans can also check out melancholic single “Wish I Was” and its retro gaming-inspired video. When NATE BERGMAN unveiled “Back To Nashville“, the song was promptly voted ‘Track Of The Week’ by Classic Rock readers and immediately landed a prime slot on Planet Rock Radio’s Stateside Playlist.

Bergman’s debut solo album Metaphysical Change, a blues-steeped, country-inflected record released via Velocity Records in 2022, marked the shift in his songwriting. Exploring themes of transformation, loss, and self-discovery, the album blended soul, Americana, and rock influences into a deeply personal body of work. The record featured collaborations with a range of acclaimed musicians, including Brit Turner (Blackberry Smoke), Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance), and Per Wiberg (Opeth), among others. Through raw, soul-driven melodies and reflective lyricism, Metaphysical Change established Bergman as a distinctive new voice bridging folk, blues, and modern Americana. Listen on Spotify here.

“Bergman is a curly haired Jewish kid who sounds like Sam Cooke after 400 cigarettes…

it might just be the rock n roll debut of the year.” – Ghettoblaster
