Internationally renowned Aussie Bluesman Nathan Cavaleri is sweeping through the Mid West next year for an intimate show at Regionals Sounds.

After many failed attempts and years of trying to cross the border, Nathan Cavaleri will finally be making his triumphant live return to Western Australia as he embarks on a mammoth 10 date, state-wide tour in March 2023.

Much of the country was oblivious to the career Nathan led beyond prime time Australia. By age 12, he found himself the centre of a bidding war between the labels of Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna. By age 16 he'd toured with B.B. King as his guest, and played at the Kennedy Centre in front of The Clintons with Etta James and Bonnie Raitt.

Since his return to the stage in 2019, Nathan has made huge waves in stamping his footprint back on the Music Scene. From having a dedicated episode of “Australian Story” air on national television, wowing audiences as one of the largest Artists on Twitch globally to live stream an entire album creation process, to performing to 1000’s of people at key major festivals including Byron Bay Bluesfest & Caloundra Music Festival, Nathan is back and bringing his latest show on the road in support of his brand new single; Cool Changes.

“Cool Changes” – an indie surf inspired track with weeping guitar melodies, sauntering beats and spacious harmonies marks the first of fourth singles to be released ahead of his much anticipated fourth album early next year. Whilst Nathan’s largest creations see him let go of the title B.B. King gave him as “the future of blues,” audiences can still expect to hear blues roots at the heart of his latest show, which has been proudly supported by the Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund.

With a desire to make up for lost time and a mantra to “bring his show to the people,” the tour will have Nathan performing all over the state including in some of WA’s most regional and remote towns for the first time in over 25 years!

And he is stopping in to share an intimate story-focused show in Geraldton.

More about Nathan Cavaleri

Nathan started playing guitar at three, playing along with his favorite blues records – Stevie Ray Vaughn and Albert Collins, before his dad Frank started to teach him the basics. He was playing electric guitar by five and had his first gig aged six – busking outside his mother’s coffee shop and pocketing $270 in just ninety minutes.

Daryl Somers’ had an open door policy for Nathan on Hey Hey, and he would regularly appear on the program to plug albums or showcase his work in the US. Australian rock legend Jimmy Barnes swiftly took note. Before long, Nathan signed his first record deal and went on an epic five week tour supporting Barnes and Diesel.

“What an educational tour for myself and my parents,” Nathan says now. “My band was two bricklayers (one being my father) and a drum tech! I had just turned 10 at the time. Throughout that time, mum and dad were trying to shield me from seeing drunken blood baths whilst trying to preserve my belief in the Easter Bunny. Literally!”

By age 12 Nathan was basically a veteran. He’d toured around the world and befriended another hero, blues legend B.B King. In 1995 King asked Nathan to perform for him with Bonnie Raitt, Dr John, Etta James and Joe Lewis Walker at his Presidential Award ceremony in 1995. That also meant Nathan got to meet Bill and Hillary Clinton at the White House.

Given the all clear health-wise at age 13, Jimmy Barnes, Emmanuel and Diesel guested on his 1993 debut album Jammin’ With the Cats. A year later, Nathan was in the US being wooed by George Michael, Prince, Madonna and Michael Jackson to sign to their record labels.
