Israel Nash

Texas-based singer/songwriter Israel Nash began his career in New York in the late 2000s, blending elements of rock and country with gentle psychedelia and undercurrents of rural folk. His second album, 2001's Steve Shelley-produced Barn Doors and Concrete Floors, found an audience in Europe, though it was his 2014 release, Rain Plans, that became a critical breakout in the U.S. After settling in the Texas Hill County outside of Austin, his music took an increasingly cerebral and psychedelic bent on subsequent releases like 2015's Silver Season and the 2021's home-recorded Topaz.
