Imagine if John Prine had an emo phase or if Chris Carrabba met Johnny Cash — that’s the sound of Jeremy Nathan. Drawing inspiration from alt-country artists Jason Isbell & Ruston Kelly, Jeremy combines confessional lyrics, moody vocals reminiscent of Bright Eyes and folk instrumentation into emotive and resonant songs. Seasoned from years touring in the emo scene and grounded in his south central Kansas roots, Jeremy has seamlessly found a home in the alt-country scene. Sharing the stage with emo icons Aaron Gillespie (Underoath/The Almost), The Spill Canvas, All Get Out and Real Friends, Jeremy is building a home in the genre with honest songs about heartbreak, loss, healing and hope.
In today’s episode Jeremy and I dive into a myriad of captivating subjects, ranging from the interplay between art and marketing to the intricacies of the songwriting process. Our mutual appreciation for Rick Rubin also fueled some engaging conversations,. It’s a great episode enjoy

Energetic, intense, yet sensitive, and inquisitive. All of these words and more describe the style and work of Kansas City producer, musician, and composer Desmond Mason. Raised both personally and musically in Kansas City, Missouri, his musical roots are in, and have evolved from, hip hop, R&B, gospel, and jazz. Largely self-taught, he received formal education from Scott Anthony and Bobby Watson, both from the University of Missouri-Kansas City’s Conservatory of Music. Becoming more widely heard, Desmond’s itinerary is rapidly growing as the exposure to his work and compositions increases. He was one of Casio’s representatives for the worldwide Make Music Day 2021, and is a multiple-time international beat battle/music production showcase champion, making him one of the best beat makers in the world. His writing has also made it onto the hit Fox TV show STAR, Jaigermeister campaigns, and CBS Sports Radio.
In this episode, Desmond recounts his transformative journey of shedding 100 pounds and its ripple effect on every aspect of his life. He delves into a poignant childhood experience where his mother, facing challenges, sold his violin to support her struggles with addiction, temporarily derailing his musical aspirations. However, the narrative turns positive when another influential adult later steps in, reigniting Desmond's passion and determination for music.
