Nathaniel Rateliff to Revive ‘And It’s Still Alright’ Solo Tour

Nathaniel Rateliff to Revive ‘And It’s Still Alright’ Solo Tour

Today, singer-songwriter Nathaniel Rateliff announced he’s preparing to revive his highly acclaimed 2020 solo tour in support of And It’s Still Alright . After the original tour was abruptly canceled due to the pandemic, Rateliff is ready to hit the stage again, bringing his soulful tunes and heartfelt performances to fans nationwide and for the new shows, he’ll be accompanied by his friend and special guest Kevin Morby.

The tour’s revival follows a sold-out nine-month run in 2020, cut short just nine days after its kick-off in Minneapolis. The rejuvenated And It’s Still Alright tour promises to showcase the depth of Rateliff’s musical talents. Audiences can expect diverse performances, oscillating between intimate, stripped-back moments featuring Rateliff’s soulful voice accompanied by an acoustic guitar and more elaborate arrangements with a full 10-piece folk band, complete with a string quartet.

The tour is slated to kick off on Nov. 1 at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Boston, with notable stops at prestigious venues like Brooklyn N.Y.,’s Kings Theatre, Austin, Texas’s Bass Concert Hall and Los Angeles’ The Orpheum Theatre.

And It’s Still Alright was released in 2018 and remains the cornerstone for the tour; however, the shows will spotlight Rateliff’s full catalog of solo albums. Notably, And It’s Still Alright delves into Rateliff’s personal journey, reflecting his experiences as a wounded seeker grappling with pain and loss. His introspective and poetic lyrics vividly depict his struggles and aspirations, imbuing the music with a sense of hope and transcendence.

Tickets for the And It’s Still Alright tour are now available for purchase. Learn more and find tickets here .

Nathaniel Rateliff Announces 2023 Solo Tour Dates

He’ll be joined by Kevin Morby

Nathaniel Rateliff Announces 2023 Solo Tour Dates

Have you ever caught yourself wishing the pandemic never happened, and that all the amazing tours slated for 2020 were never canceled? Well, you might not be able to reverse time, but Nathaniel Rateliff will help make up for everything we missed out on. On Monday, August 7th, he announced that his “And It’s Still Alright Tour” — originally scheduled for 2020 , but then canceled — is back on. Check out the full list of dates below, and grab your tickets here .

Rateliff originally announced the “And It’s Still Alright Tour” in 2019, in support of his acclaimed solo album, And It’s Still Alright . The tour was slated for nine-months and kicked off in Minneapolis on track, but nine days in, the pandemic forced Rateliff to call off the remainder of the dates. Now, Rateliff is set to relaunch the tour, this time with the help of opener Kevin Morby . Starting on November 1st, the two will trek across America, making stops in Boston, Brooklyn, Austin, Los Angeles, and more.

Promising an “intimate” evening of acoustic music, the “And It’s Still Alright Tour” will present Rateliff and his nuanced songcraft in an ideal setting. At times, it will be just Rateliff, his guitar, and his songs — at other points, he’ll be joined by “full 10-piece folk band accompaniment, including a string quartet,” according to the press release.

Tickets become available for pre-sale through Ticketmaster on different dates depending on the show — for more information, and access to the pre-sale code, sign up for Rateliff’s email news blast here . Tickets go on-sale for the general public on Friday, August 11th, at 10 a.m. local time.

Check out the full list of dates below. You can also check out a preview of the tour, thanks to a video Rateliff made in 2020 after he and his crew loaded into Town Hall in New York for a performance. The show and the rest of the tour were canceled before Rateliff could deliver his set, but that didn’t stop him from singing a few songs for the camera. Watch the video below.

No Sweat: Nathaniel Rateliff Relaunches Solo Tour

unnamed (40)

Back in 2020, Nathaniel Rateliff planned — and sold out – a nine-month tour in support of his solo album “And It’s Still Alright.”

Just nine days after the first show in Minneapolis, Rateliff had to cancel the tour, like so many others, because of the pandemic. But now it’s back.

Rateliff will relaunch the solo trek — far shorter this time — November 1 at the Orpheum in Boston. The 11-show run through November takes him to New York, Washington and Los Angeles, among other places, before wrapping at Seattle’s Paramount November 20. Kevin Morby supports on most dates. See the full routing below.

Tickets are available through Rateliff’s website .

That tour launch — it was actually two sell outs — back in 2020 at Minneapolis’ State Theatre grossed $234,176 on 4,081 tickets across two nights, according to Pollstar Boxoffice reports.

Nathaniel Rateliff Announces Intimate Solo Tour Dates 

Nathaniel Rateliff, the acclaimed singer-songwriter, is set to take the stage once again as he revives his intimate, “And It’s Still Alright Tour.” Joined by his friend and fellow singer-songwriter, Kevin Morby, on most dates, this 11-city cross-country journey promises to captivate audiences with its stripped-down and heartfelt performances.

The tour is scheduled throughout the month of November, following existing tour dates planned with his usual backing band, The Night Sweats.

I’m very excited to announce that I will finally be doing a tour to support my 2020 release of  ‘And It’s Still Alright ’. In 2020 we could not finish the tour we had planned. Presale happening now. General on sale Friday. Link in bio. Code: STILLALRIGHT pic.twitter.com/nsf4SWSp7z — Nathaniel Rateliff (@NRateliff) August 7, 2023

Rateliff had initially conceived a similar tour to celebrate his 2020 solo album, And It’s Still Alright . This album, a touching tribute to his late collaborator Richard Swift, was unfortunately derailed shortly after its launch in Minneapolis due to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, Rateliff is resolute in his determination to bring the essence of this album to life on stage, creating an atmosphere that resonates with his fans on a profound level.

The And It’s Still Alright Tour is an eclectic blend of solo acoustic renditions and Rateliff’s performances backed by a 10-piece folk ensemble, which even includes a mesmerizing string quartet. This musical configuration promises to deliver a diverse and captivating soundscape that complements Rateliff’s evocative storytelling and emotive vocals.

For eager fans, a presale event is currently in progress, offering the opportunity to secure tickets before the general public rush. The official ticket sale for the And It’s Still Alright Tour will commence on Friday, August 11 at 10 a.m. local time for each respective venue.

Kicking off on November 1 at the historic Orpheum Theatre in Boston, the tour is set to paint the nation with its emotional melodies. The journey continues with a much-anticipated concert at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre, followed by a stop in the nation’s capital, Washington D.C., on November 3.

From one extreme to the other, the man who had found comfort in solitary performances for years, was not only surrounded by the six-piece Sweats, but also by the seven-piece New Orleans’ Preservation Hall Jazz Band (who had decided to stick around after their opening set for Yonder Mountain the night before). A colossal circus of horns marched out in front of Stage Rock, with the Night Sweats following close behind. With the brass wind at his back, Nathaniel Rateliff returned home on his knees. Dressed all in black (from his hat, all the way down to his boots), with arms outstretched to gather all the love coming his way, Rateliff looked up at the venue like he was seeing it for the first time. Then he channeled all that love into his newfound James Brown persona.

“Good evening everybody!”

Strands of discrete white lighting bounced off saxophones, and trumpets, and even a sousaphone, as New Orleans’ best paid tribute to Colorado’s best. There was something almost religious about what was happening on that stage. Rateliff played the part of a manic preacher who would just as soon send you straight to hell as he would lift you up to the gates of heaven. When he hit those throaty, guttural notes during “I’ve Been Failing”, it sent shivers down my spine. When his feet started to stomp along with the dual percussion of “Look It Here”, I couldn’t control my own extremities from following along. The tambourine came out at one point, and while he beat it against the slip-sliding, kicking-and-screaming legs below him, his perfectly manicured beard stayed steady in front of the microphone, as if it weren’t connected to the rest of his body. Seriously, with the dancing skills that man possesses, I don’t know how he stood still on a stage for all those years before The Night Sweats.

“We are only here because of you guys tonight, so thank you so much for coming. I never thought we’d be here with all of you, so this is a truly amazing thing for us.”

The Preservation Hall Jazz Band were excused after a few songs, leaving Rateliff and his matching brothers (most of whom wore denim jackets with ‘Intentional Dickweed’ embroidered across the back) to perform “The Intro”, “Howling at Nothing”, “Wasting Time”, and “Mellow Out”; all in pure Night Sweats style. The sky was clear and the air smelled of autumn, but the red lights upon the red rocks represented the heat radiating from the stage. No one was immune to the fever either. There wasn’t a single person questioning the name of the band at that point in the evening.

“In 1998 I moved here with my best friend, Joseph Pope III on bass, and we would come out here in the middle of the night. We were just a bunch of poor kids from nowhere. Well, Missouri actually, where all poor people come from. We sat on this stage and smoked a joint and drank some wine and told each other we’d play here someday. It’s nice to be here with you guys. And it’s nice to be here with my best friend too.”

In a time when so many artists are looking to the 80’s for inspiration, Rateliff and the Night Sweats are not the only band whose vision goes back a little further, but unlike Alabama Shakes and St. Paul & The Broken Bones, and even Shakey Graves, I don’t feel like I am watching a group of musicians paying homage to the 60’s; I feel like I am watching a band perform in the 60’s. It was partially the matching outfits; it was partially the lighting; it was partially the presentation and style of dancing and all the horns, but there was something more to it than that. There was an originality on display which should have been impossible for a retro band. Having seen Rateliff perform straight-up folk music so many times in the past, I had even more reason to be skeptical of his new stage personality, but if there was a façade to been seen through, my vision must be going in my old age, because everything during the 90-minute performance seemed 100% legit to me.

“We’ve been on tour for most of the past year. We never anticipated the album would do so well. Thank you for your support for our various bands and projects. It’s good to be here with all our neighbors.”

I’m going to forgo a detailed play-by-play of the show, but I will say they performed almost the entire album, with the only exception being “I’d Be Waiting”. They also performed live staples “The Intro” and “Out on the Weekend”, as well as a new song. We were given a dance lesson before “Shake” (“four corners…side to side…a little twist, try that”) and the band was loose, free flowing, but also in flawless form the entire night.

I can always appreciate a singer songwriter accompanying themselves on a guitar. I can sympathize with that, deeply because I’ve been a singer accompanying myself on a guitar for the last seven years, and it takes time, such does any music to penetrate that glass ceiling that you can see bands or artists that you would call your contemporaries, doing what they love, making a splash somewhere, somehow. But seriously, lets talk about Nathanniel Rateliff, a singer songwriter who has been doing what he does for a long time, with a vast discography behind him, but giving this guy a chance was a great decision. His music definitely speaks louder than words, and so do his songs, which are fantastically crafted. One of the ones that really stuck with me was “Early Spring Till”, which he performed accompanied by his nylon strung acoustic guitar and the belting vocals from Julie Davis, who is pretty much an unknown, but the marriage of their vocals together is just a force to be reckoned with. Their voices blend so well and you find yourself singing them for days afterwards.

Properly Ace.

What a vocalist, what a sweet venue and what a beard.

I would highly recommend seeing this dude.

I would not recommend trying to write a short review in Songkick though - its really annoying.

nburdy’s profile image

Really entertaining band! Great vocals and music was fun and upbeat. Nathaniel seems really passionate and everyone on stage was really into it. Would like to see them again next time they are in Calgary.

Amazing! Great performance, great vibes. Nathaniel and his band were really powerful and they transmitted a lot of good energy. I hope they release a new album soon and come back to Madrid.
