Nashville, Tenn. (Top40 Charts/ Lotos Nile Media) -
Arena ready rocker Nathan Lee releases his latest album, Risk
Everything on
September 1st through One Revolution Entertainment. With a new collection of heartfelt rock anthems, a weekly concert series in Nashville benefiting World Vision and an upcoming appearance on TLC's LA Ink, this multi-faceted artist is ready to turn heads and make a difference.
Although he is now on the verge of releasing his fearless, appropriately titled album, Lee's journey to this point has been filled with many crossroads and career changes. He always came back to music, knowing it was the only thing that could sustain him and allow him to reach people the way that felt best to him.
In 2007, he took up a weekly residence at The Rutledge and it is there that he built his rabid following. "Our audience was pastors and strippers," said Lee of his time at the Rutledge. "I sing to broken people because I am one. I want to write songs that bridge the gap between our differences and bring some essence of healing to what I do."
The buzz around his electric performances resulted in sold out shows and a deal with One Revolution Entertainment, a new multimedia entertainment company. Lee went immediately to work on his latest project with Paul Moak, who has produced, engineered, performed and written songs on numerous gold and platinum records for artists such as Mat Kearney, TobyMac, Chris Tomlin, Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith. The result is an album full of passionate and thought-provoking rock tracks that are impossible to ignore.
Lee kicks off the album with "Open Road," a windows-down, pounding rock anthem. His raspy growl brings an expressive resonance to songs like "El Diablo Y El Angel" and "Bring Down the Fire" as he explores issues of choice and redemption. His ability to blend foot-stomping, heart-pounding music with the intrinsic spirituality of his lyrics allows listeners to join him on his journey from "Broke and Hollow Man" to "Hold Me Down." Living up to its title, Risk Everything is an intimate portrait of an artist who is still searching for the answers.
As someone who has gone from owning a six-figure a year business to being homeless and sleeping in his car, Lee is ever conscious of the fragility of life and the delicate balance of luck and opportunity. This understanding led him to become involved with World Vision's relief efforts and the idea for "Give a Damn Sundays" was born. From July 5th through August 9th Lee will play a weekly show at Nashville's 12th and Porter, with 100% of the proceeds going to World Vision. World Vision will also match all donations at the door, doubling the impact of this initiative.
A rocker to the core, Lee is covered in his own personal narrative. He will share these stories on an upcoming episode of the hit TLC show LA Ink, in which he will add to his tattoo collection with a piece of art created by Kat Von D.
The new album is available on September 1st with a direct to fan pre-sale beginning July 15th. Nathan Lee is a creative force with undeniable talent and a huge heart. With his determination to touch people in all facets of his music, from the raw intensity of his live performance to the international imprint of giving, Lee continues to live by his self-imposed Risk Everything challenge.
