In this episode of Jam w/ Jason, @nathanevansfox joins from Nashville to tell his story. He grew up in the hills of western North Carolina surrounded by bluegrass and Celtic music, picking up violin at four years old and never really putting it down. He spent years bouncing between New York, Houston, and Atlanta before landing in Nashville in his 30s, not chasing a dream, but finally ready to commit to one.In this episode Nathan opens up about keeping music private for years due to complicated ties to religious communities, losing his dad and becoming a father himself, and how those two things ended up at the center of his new record. He talks about signing to Free Dirt Records, recording his upcoming album Heirloom across three different cities because he didn't think he had a record in him until suddenly he did, opening for Carsie Blanton through the Midwest this May, and heading out with Noah Gunderson in July. 🎥 Recorded & filmed by CDF Music Group🎙️ Mic provided by Shure — recorded using the Shure MV7+ | #ShurePartner— Follow  @nathanevansfox  YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJuiU9YPjqvI915OsnpogKwInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/nathan.evans.fox/Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/nathanevansfox/TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@nathan.evans.foxSpotify → https://open.spotify.com/artist/2sQgm2iQWAvwjyGjTXDUJ2Website → https://www.nathanevansfox.com/— Follow CDF Music Group:YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@CDFmusicgroupInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/cdfmusicgroupFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581557305077Website → https://www.cdfmusicgroup.com—#livemusic #americana #livesession #acoustic #singersongwriter #nashville #nathanevansfox #originalmusic #rootsmusic #risingartist© 2025 CDF Music Group.
