Background

Nathan Stickman is from Phoenix, Arizona and began playing the guitar in college at the University of Arizona. One day when he was in the park, a homeless man asked to play his guitar. The man then told Nathan to sing by improvising, at that moment the songwriter in him was born. From there Stickman began writing and soon had a small collection of songs.^[3] By graduation he started playing the coffee shop and club circuit. After touring throughout the west he moved to Nashville, Tennessee to continue his music career. His songs are considered to be radio-friendly rock. In a series called "Face the Music" in the Nashville Scene, Marie Yarbrough states "Lyrically poetic, Stickman sings about everyday joys and frustrations with endearing optimism." ^[4]

Turn of Luck

2011’s "Turn of Luck" by Stickman.

Stickman's 2011 release Turn of Luck continues his self produced recordings as a rock trio with a more straight forward sound with less processing. Nathan Stickman currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee carving out his own niche in a town that seldom breaks the mold.^[5]
