The Denver-based Nathaniel Rateliff, along with the extremely talented Night Sweats, brought a special blend of Americana/R&B/Funk back to Boston on Friday for a one-of-a-kind show at the Blue Hills Bank Pavilion. We've been with Rateliff since his 2014 show at the Brighton Music Hall where he opened up to us about his authentic sound and uninhibited lyrics. "These songs are so personal, but not everyone will get that," he also says on his website. "I get to leave little secrets in there for myself, so that everybody else gets to have their own individual interpretations of the songs.” This is a musician comfortable in his own skin and writing songs from life experience.
