The Stripped-Down Style Of Kentuckian And Korean-American Blues Artist Nat Myers

Rising country music star Charley Crockett played a set of his brand of retro-country inspired music at Louisville’s Iroquois Amphitheater this Tuesday, July 30. With him, he brought Kentucky-native country blues artist Nat Myers. Born in Kansas but raised in Northern Kentucky, Korean-American blues artist Nat Myers plays a back-to-basics blues approach, free from electric guitars, that brings with it a feeling of old pre-war race records, with inspiration from artists like Charley Patton and Louisville’s own country blues pioneer Sylvester Weaver. We were able to talk with Nat to discuss his music and Kentucky’s relationship with the blues.
