Details:
"One of most authentic, warmest new releases I''ve put on my stereo in a long time." Portland Phoenix
In the beginning, Nate Schrock met Steve Jones and they played in bands and partied as every good 70''s boy did. Then Nate moved to NYC ("New York City, just like I pictured it!") which he confesses was to join the Pretenders.
Since Chrissie Hynde was not looking for a brilliant 20 year old guitar player at the time, Nate went on to join a punk/reggae band called Paleface who headlined Saturdays at CBGBs and toured with the likes of The Clash and The Ramones. Nate then played with a blues/rock band called The Lost who released two records while signed to Epic Records, toured the US extensively (opening for bands like The Black Crowes and Foreigner), and were indeed "Big in Japan".
After much playing and touring, Nate wanted out of the fast paced band life and had written quite a few songs of his own that came from a very different vein than The Lost. The style of these songs hailed more from an older tradition, and of his childhood that was spent listening to his dad play Ramblin'' Jack Elliot and Billy Ed Wheeler songs on an acoustic guitar.
So...Nate moves back to his native Maine and meets Ginger Cote, drummer extraordinaire, and Sara Cox, singer sublime, and has now found a home for these songs. Nate calls up Steve who has himself been playing like crazy over the years (most notably with the prolific Maine band, The Boneheads) and asks him to come on over to The Coming Grass.
The band puts out a self-titled debut in 2000, people like it, radio stations play it, and DJs with cool names from places like The Netherlands, France, and Australia are writing to the band with great praise.
"What the heck" they said and have been putting out cds ever since. "Beauty of a Heart" is the 3rd release by the Coming Grass.
