Nathaniel Mayer - I Just Want To Be Held

Release Date: October 26

I Just Want To Be Held will be the first and highly anticipated full-length album from the Detroit soul legend Nathaniel Mayer. The album carries a “classic” Detroit soul sound and features a full band behind Mayer’s everlasting and razor sharp vocals. He still looks good and talks like Miles Davis.

There are people living today that were alive in 1962 when Nathaniel’s first single, “Village Of Love” (Fortune Records) reached #22 on the Billboard national charts and was a Top Ten hit in the nation’s three biggest urban markets, NYC, LA and Chicago. We feel they have waited long enough for his first full-length album.

Listen to Train Is Leaving

Guy Blakeslee a.k.a. Entrance, is a singer/guitarist who’s spent the past few years journeying and performing across America and abroad, playing on his own as well as opening for colleagues like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Cat Power and Devendra Banhart.

The 23-year-old Baltimore native taught himself how to play guitar with no formal instruction and as a result to this day he plays with his acoustic guitar flipped over and strung upside-down. Whether there are two people or 2000 in the room; whether he’s alone onstage stomping a tambourine or supported by other hands and bodies…“I always throw my mind out the window and close my eyes until whoever is in charge pulls the plug.”
