New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats' video for their song, "A
Little Honey," is premiering today at Rolling Stone. The video was directed by Rett Rogers and filmed at the Turf Club in St. Paul, MN. Rateliff explains, "'A
Little Honey' is a song all about love and desire. Everyone needs some honey and sweet loving, and in the video we wanted to embrace that kind of love in couples of all ages. A burning love doesn't have any kind of borders or age restrictions." Watch/share the video HERE.
In conjunction with the video, the band is releasing a limited edition craft chocolate called A
Little Honey. The chocolate is a fundraising collaboration between Rateliff's foundation The Marigold Project, Small Batch
America and Fruition Chocolate Works. Made with 74% dark heirloom Costa Rican cacao, organic honey, blood orange and marigold petals. Packaged in a letterpress sleeve. Additionally, The Night Sweats keyboardist, Mark Shusterman, was involved in the early stages of flavor/texture development and made recipe adjustments for the final product.
Proceeds from A
Little Honey will benefit The Marigold Project and Denver Urban Gardens' work to support Denver residents in creating sustainable, food-producing neighborhood community gardens. DUG knows that in order to make lasting change, the community needs to drive it. That's why every one of their urban gardens and farms have been started and led by local residents. They currently have over 170 gardens in six counties in the Metro Denver Area. For more information and purchasing visitnathanielrateliff.com.
The band's acclaimed new album Tearing at the Seams, out now on Stax Records, continues to receive critical praise-Los Angeles Times hails, "Some musicians are content to entertain an audience, others seek to illuminate issues or themes close to their hearts, and some are in it chiefly for fame and/or fortune. A precious few see music as a way to channel and disseminate nothing less than a life force through music, a mission that appears to be the raison d'être of
Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats," while NPR
Music furthers, "Rateliff's passionate voice and honest songs are the heart of the record. His gospel-style vocals are tucked into the band, but when the lyrics jump out, they offer up little pearls of wisdom."
The band continues to take their lauded live show on the road, including performances at Nashville's Opry House and two annual holiday shows at Denver's Ogden Theatre. Tickets are on sale now at nathanielrateliff.com. See below for complete details.
