In 2017, I reached out to my friend Mason Williams with an idea to write a song together; to my delight, he agreed and invited me to his home in Oregon. Our initial plan was to create a single song for a movie. After a week of collaboration—filled with writing and invaluable mentoring—we did it! As luck would have it, we had some extra time in the studio and began working on a second song. We didn’t have the lyrics yet, so we focused on chords, melodic ideas, and basic structure for what would become a second song.
Fast forward seven years. After meeting the love of my life, getting married, and finding the inspiration I needed, I finally completed the second song and called it “My One and Only” as a tribute to my beautiful wife, Tracy. My only hope after finishing it was that she would love it. It took about 20 tries to play it through without either of us crying—and that’s when I knew. Despite the tears, I could tell the song meant as much to her as it did to me. Months later, I began including “My One and Only” in my live performances. It immediately resonated with audiences, who started asking where they could buy or stream it. That’s when I decided to record it in the studio, collaborating with the incredible Chris Caswell on piano (known for his work with The Muppets, Daft Punk, Tron, Bonnie Raitt, Bill Withers). In just one take, we captured the essence of the song and brought my newest single, “My One and Only,” to life. After sharing the recording with Mesa Bluemoon, the idea for an EP came together. The project includes new versions of fan favorites like “Lately” and “Up to No Good,” as well as of some of my most popular songs, including “Beautiful Night.” I was humbled when Steve Martin himself said that “‘Beautiful Night’ is a song worthy of Jobim—great work!” This EP is a refection of my journey, and I’m excited to share it with everyone. — Nathan |
