Nate Clendenen at Harborside

Nate Clendenen is a singer/songwriter/performer born in Philadelphia, PA and raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.  Imgaine Toots Hibbert and Peter Rowan in a smoky jam session. Think Ramblin’ Jack Elliot if he had grown up at the beach. Clendenen’s influences are widely eclectic from Reggae and world music to Appalachian folk – from 60s psychedelia to alternative country.  Nate seeks to put words to the random moments in life that one will always remember to record his thoughts as a soundtrack of his life to find those tiny things that often go unnoticed. This is the stuff of great art the melody of meaningful music.  Mike Breen of the Cincinatti Beach describes Clendenen as the “Van Morrison in the Appalachians… Newgrass colliding with the singer/songwriter genre.”
