Nathaniel Riley plays Dharma Farm in Longmont on July 15.
has the look of a train-hopping troubadour, but the reality is more complicated. He is the kind, hardworking father of an elementary school kid in Fort Collins and has put his heart, and a lot of time, into creating his debut album,Riley was born in Connecticut, but moved to South Dakota at age eight. “That’s where I figured it all out,” he says. “It was definitely a change of scenery, that’s for sure. I grew up on a farm, but we weren’t farmers by tradition.
That band was called Hideaway, an emo outfit that played around Wyoming, Fort Collins, Nebraska and South Dakota as teenagers, dissolving when Riley moved to Fort Collins to start a family and shift his musical focus. At his solo shows, Riley is that train-hopping troubadour from his cap down to his shoes, conveying quality versions of his dusty, poetic alt-folk tunes., however, wallops listeners with a deep, diverse helping of more rocking and vibey sounds. Electric guitar, banjo and violin all feature heavily on Bird Songs, and Riley brought in an all-star cast of Colorado musicians for the project.
The bird element of Riley’s debut album goes back to his grandmother, who loved birds and always had bird-themed decorations around. Riley particularly remembers a clock she had that would have a different bird’s song each hour, and the imprint his grandmother’s bird obsession eventually had on him.
