Nathan Stickman is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. He formerly performed under the name Stickman, but since the release of 2016's Transition he now uses his full name. Stickman plays his own brand of acoustic rock music.
Background[edit]
Nathan Stickman is from Phoenix, Arizona and began playing the guitar in college at the University of Arizona. One day when he was in the park, a homeless man asked to play his guitar. The man then told Stickman to sing by improvising. He began writing and soon had a small collection of songs.[1] By graduation he had started playing the coffee shop and club circuit. After touring throughout the west he moved to Nashville, Tennessee to continue his music career.
Transition[edit]
Transition is Stickman's 2016 release and marks a return to his folk rock sound. The album marks a new period focusing on solo acoustic performances after many years fronting a band.[2] It was recorded during a long hiatus while in California. Transition marks Stickman's ninth studio album, and is the first record to use his full name.[3]
Wandering Through The Human Spirt and Days Between Life[edit]
In 2023 Nathan Stickman released two sister albums with a total of 26 new songs.This would be his 10th and 11th studio album.[4]
Critical reception[edit]
In a series called "Face the Music" in the Nashville Scene, Marie Yarbrough wrote, "Lyrically poetic, Stickman sings about everyday joys and frustrations with endearing optimism."[5] Ryan Heinsius from the Arizona Daily Sun said Stickman's "diversity and heartfelt songwriting enables him to connect with his listeners while maintaining a grounded, honest sound."[6]
The Roanoke Times called his music "laid-back melodic acoustic rock."[7] The Arizona Daily Sun said his "sound combines elements of folk and country with radio-friendly rock."[8] San Diego Magazine described his music as "laid-back acoustic, melodic country rock."[9]
