Singer-songwriter Nathan Clark George delivers songs from the Scriptures and life with finesse and authenticity. He has the ability to transform any venue into a living room where the audience is free to explore life’s joys and sorrows, experiencing both conviction and hope.
Nathan Clark George is a singer/songwriter meshing acoustic music with the Scriptures, an honest view of family, life and eternity and is creating a rich blend of hopeful realism that transforms the mundane into the meaningful. He has been touring now for over four years and is continually building a stong base of fans who love his authenticity, his musicianship and engaging performances. Drawing from real life, his own family, and his experience as a pastor, his songs are striking a nerve and his delivery is always compelling. His concerts travel from melodic fingerstyle guitar to folk music that is fresh and accessible to all ages. And yet somehow he never sinks into trite sound bites and even finds a way to provoke thoughtfulness, worship and wonder at the life that has been given to us.
One particular love of Nathan’s is to set music to the Scriptures. He has worked through several Psalms, the book of Job, passages in Isaiah, and several New Testament passages. Finding and writing music that represents a biblical passage well is hard to do, but you will find Nathan’s efforts to be a welcomed treat.
Goals and Purpose:
This perhaps is a short and a not-so-flashy statement, but Nathan’s goal is to encourage love of the Scriptures, fear of God, and love of life and family. He plays both in Christian as well as general market venues and prefers to ignore these boundaries except in the area of worship. Also, Nathan and his family have chosen to travel together rather than be separated. This is not only exciting, but it is vitally important to developing and strengthening this thing we call family. Society has seen enough familial decline and so another goal for Nathan is to attempt to live what he sings about.

- From A Performance Review by Christian Hale -
“There are shows that are considered good and there are those shows that are considered great. And then, there are those shows that truly should not be missed - and last Friday night, the Liberty Theater played host to one of those shows. Anyone not at Nathan Clark George’s CD release performance on Friday, January 28, 2005 totally missed out and should kick themselves. His new CD “Slam the Door - an album of family, joys, failures and hope” was shared with the audience, as well as some great covers like Lyle Lovett’s “She’s No Lady She’s My Wife.” But Nathan’s music is impressive in that his own songs’ lyrics reveal an introspective soul who deals with the trials of adult life and having family while wrestling with his desire to keep a kid-like heart. Between songs, Nathan would easily interact with the crowd . ..In short, it comes to him naturally - and naturally is how his songs felt; revealing, funny, sad, enlightening and hopeful. In front of a packed house, Nathan and his friends gave a refined and moving performance, extending a bit of their collective soul to the eyes and ears of the crowd, touching even the hardest heart with a certain grace.”
