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.”

Nathaniel Mayer - I Just Want To Be Held

Nathaniel Mayer off to a great start.

Despite the fact that Nathaniel Mayer was paid six times more than anyone else in his band, on the drive back his suspicions of being ripped off quickly turned volatile and a band mutiny forced him to make his way back to Detroit from the Memphis Greyhound station alone. Hopefully things will go just as smooth in the future since everyone made it home.

You can buy his debut full length
I Just Want To Be Held right now.

Pre-order I Just Want To Be Held for $13.00

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.
