Stern praises, “There’s this amazing musician, Nathaniel Rateliff…super talented, and this guy’s got a great voice too. You know who they remind me of? The Band. They’re that good.” The special aired on Sirius XM H101 and is available for viewing in full in the Howard Stern app—watch the Bruce Springsteen cover here.
The announcement of the new tour dates comes following Rateliff’s selection as the first ever Newport Folk Steward, the first artist to hold such a role at the legendary festival since Pete Seeger. The position holds a three-year term, which will see Rateliff serving as Steward actively for two years and advising the next recipient during a third transition year. Rateliff has chosen to devote his term to artist advocacy, fellowship and mentorship both at the Fort and beyond.
