Bell, Nathan
I Don't Do This For Love, I Do This For Love
Nathan Bells music comes from a place of exhaustion. His mellow, world-weary folk music chronicles the endless grind of all shades of the working person in America, from mine workers to middle managers. Bell writes from personal experience: his musical career bookends a 15-year hiatus in the 90s and 00s, during which he worked as both a manual laborer and a phone company manager. Hes been involved in both blue-collar and white-collar life, and understands that both lifestyles are uniquely draining. His album I Dont Do This For Love, I Do This For Love examines the different stripes of dead-end Americana over guitar and mandolin.
