Nathaniel Talbot, renowned Whidbey Island songwriter, poet and fingerstyle guitar whiz, will be joined by bassist Keegan Harshman as they work their magic on the Ott & Hunter stage!It’s a busy life for songwriter and farmer Nathaniel Talbot, who runs an organic vegetable farm and seed company here on Whidbey Island. When not out cultivating onions on his solar-powered tractor, he’s inside cultivating songs that are rooted in the earth and American traditionalism. “Working in agriculture, while often physically and emotionally tiring, also provides the mental space and quietude for songs to be sown and nourished,” says Talbot.
Raised in the wooded foothills southeast of Portland, the big firs and wide farmscapes of childhood made a life-long impression on Talbot’s songwriting. “The natural setting imprinted on my sense of self, and populated my brain with the imagery and storylines that would later manifest in my songwriting.” He began learning piano at age seven, started a punk rock band at thirteen, and quickly thereafter began steeping himself in guitar-driven sounds of Kelly Joe Phelps, Elliott Smith, Bill Frisell and other Pacific Northwest heroes. Over the next 15 years, Talbot honed an approach to songwriting and storytelling, driven by his complex, yet delicate, fingerstyle guitar work, which earned him a distinct place in the northwest folk scene.
