About Natural Born Leaders (Asheville, NC)
Celebrated for their eclectic sound that floats seamlessly between rock, reggae, jazz, hip-hop [and] funk
(Live Music Daily), the music of Natural Born Leaders tears down every preconception one may have about genre borders and begs to be placed in a category all its own.
From studio to stage, the Asheville, NC based quintet are on a longstanding journey to spread the gospel of grassroots revolution, one verse at a time.
In the summer of 2018, with breakout EP, About Time, barely one month old, the band submitted a live version of their unreleased single Abominable Creatures to NPR Musics famed Tiny Desk Contest. Despite thousands of entries garnered, the unique performance style of Natural Born Leaders remained among the most memorable. Weeks later, when songwriter Naia Izumi was crowned the 2018 Tiny Desk Contest winner, Natural Born Leaders, too, were granted a moment in the spotlight, landing a feature
interview on the nationally syndicated Weekend Edition program.
With stirring momentum, Natural Born Leaders have dropped their highly anticipated sophomore EP, Abominable Creatures. Produced and engineered by platinum record holder Patrick Doyle (Jennifer
Lopez, Earth, Wind & Fire, Cory Rooney) the new record delivers brand new, heavy hitting verses and soul-shaking chants about love, desire, and the often uncomfortable sides of the human experience, and showcases just how far down the rabbit hole (Top Shelf Music) the band has fallen.
With wildly impressive, never predictable arrangements whose surging energy (Music Mecca) never wavers, the release of Abominable Creatures has been quick to put NBL on the map as a must-see this year.
With influences ranging from the head-banging nature of Black Sabbath and Metallica, to the old-school energy of Outkast and Lauryn Hill, Natural Born Leaders weave rich bass lines, sexy brass and electrifying guitar solos into a sound all their own. Paired with the charisma of frontman Mike Martinez, the
long-playing debut of Abominable Creatures is ripe with some of the most revolution-stirring antics one can sneak into a six song collection.
About Of Good Nature (Charlotte, NC)
Based in Charlotte, NC, Of Good Nature has received quick attention for the bands newly released, chart-topping music. Reggae, pop, and alternative are more popular descriptions of OGNs fusion-friendly approach to todays music, but these hardworking songwriters explore a range of styles that have led to a highly accessible sound. The new full-length album, Timeless, debuted at #1 on iTunes and #3 on Billboard (Reggae Albums Chart) in March 2019. Take Me Anywhere has been featured on Sirius XMs The Pulse and Feels Right and Good Life are streamed on popular Spotify playlists including Happy Songs For The Office, Easy Like Sunday Morning and Reggae Summer Beach.
The bands high-energy live show has caught on across the United States. OGN was invited for a second appearance aboard Trains Sail Across The Sun Cruise and it has supported headliners Sublime with Rome, Slightly Stoopid, Dirty Heads, The Wailers, George Clinton, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Arrested Development, Gym Class Heroes, Robert Randolph & The Family Band, Blues Traveler, Common Kings, Steel Pulse and many more.
Celebrating the successful release of Timeless, Of Good Nature has announced their partnership with Ineffable Music Group based in Oakland, CA. The band headed back to the studio in June with producer/engineer Danny Kalb (Beck, Ben Harper, Foster the People, The Movement) at White Star Sound in Charlottesville, VA. OGN also received recognition for their past studio work as their debut album, Just Add Water, won Indie-Villes Reggae Album of the Year and sophomore album, Life Worth Livin, debuted at #5 on iTunes Reggae Albums Charts.
