“J.E. Sunde is one of the greatest indie-folk songwriters around.” - Daytrotter

J.E. Sunde (Jonathan Edward Sunde) is a songwriter and composer based out of Minneapolis, MN. Jon studied western classical music with a vocal emphasis at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. Starting in college, Jon spent ten years making beautifully unusual music with The Daredevil Christopher Wright. He has since released three solo records with his most recent record, “9 Songs About Love,” released in November of 2020. With a love of songwriters and performers like Leonard Cohen, Nina Simone, and Paul Simon, Jon writes densely poetic songs with a bent toward the philosophical. Also, his voice sounds like some sort of weird angel.

Nat Harvie (they/them) is a producer, recordist, and performance artist currently based in Duluth, MN and Portland, OR. Nat began their recording career at eighteen with the bygone Duluth label, Chaperone Records (Charlie Parr, Retribution Gospel Choir, Lion or Gazelle). After the dissolution of the label only a year later, Nat fell deep into the world of DIY recording and began to produce and release their own work independently, starting with their 2015 debut solo EP, Snow is a Gift to my Fear. Following this release, Nat formed their live outfit, Nat Harvie Trio, and quickly became a leading voice in the Duluth scene, garnering local and regional attention for their heartfelt songwriting, lush arrangements, and powerful live performances.

While developing their voice and style as a solo artist Nat also continued to hone their craft as a recordist and producer, learning and working in studios between Duluth, Vancouver, Pittsburgh, and Minneapolis/St. Paul. During this period, Nat produced their first LP, Nat Harvie’s Broken Record, a rococo alternative pop effort independently released in the spring of 2018. After a year of shows supporting Broken Record, Nat Harvie Trio played one final farewell show at Duluth’s Sacred Heart Cathedral with added guitarist Alan Sparhawk of Low. The trio then disbanded and Nat moved to St. Paul to work at Salon, the recording studio of Zoo Animal frontwoman Holly Hansen.

While working and playing solo in the Twin Cities over the following years Nat branched out into several instrumental, synth-based ambient/experimental live and recorded projects including a collaborative EP with Brent Penny, Alan Sparhawk, and Cole Pulice, 4 Embraces, released on Suntanman Records in 2020.

Now, after a brief stint in the Pacific Northwest Nat has returned to their hometown to work with Alan Sparhawk’s Charkickers’ Union label on the release of their sophomore album, Married in Song.
