Campany, Nate & The Serenade
The Only Bridge I Need
If the Mason Dixon line were the division between pop and traditional American music, Nate Campany would be that line. Brooklyn based alt-country troubadour Nate Campany isn't your usual singer/songwriter. For a start, hes been writing music for years for other people that sound nothing like the songs he writes for himself (the Backstreet Boys even recorded one of his songs). He's also a mad civil-war fanatic and Charles Dickens obsessive. He also has an 11-piece band. Theyre called The Serenade But what about the songs? Nate Campany & The Serenade's debut release The Only Bridge I Need is pop-meets-Americana with a bit of alt-country-folk thrown in for good measure. And the tunes are pure class. Think Harvest-era Neil Young meets Sounds Of Silence-era Simon & Garfunkel.
