Nate Barnes

Quartz Hill Records newcomer Nate Barnes is a young, blue-collar storyteller who writes and sings about God, family, hard work, heartache, love, and the simple joys of life. Hailing from South Haven, Michigan, the former power plant worker spent years playing bars, coffee shops, small venues and festivals in and around his hometown until one fateful day when he met chart-topping songwriter Jason Sellers (“Don’t You Wanna Stay,” “I Won’t Let Go,” “Sunny and 75”). A chance meeting turned into a conversation, which led to a song, and then to a meeting with pioneering Music Row label head Benny Brown. That meeting ultimately landed Barnes a record deal with Quartz Hill Records, helmed by Brown alongside Paul Brown and Jason Sellers.
