Nathan Evans - 1994 (Deluxe Edition) (2025) [Official Digital Download]

Nathan Evans is a Scottish singer, songwriter, and guitarist who went from postal worker to social media star in 2020 when his a cappella versions of traditional sea shanties became a viral sensation, resulting in a major-label record deal. He issued his debut single, "Wellerman," the following year.

Born in Bellshill and based outside of Glasgow in the town of Airdrie, Evans started playing guitar at the age of eight. After graduating from college with a degree in web design he joined the Royal Mail as a postal worker, and in his downtime began posting covers of Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Vance Joy, and Kodaline songs on his social media page. When a follower suggested that he try his hand at some traditional folk music, he uploaded a rendition of the sea shanty "Leave Her Johnny." The song proved popular with his fans, so he added "The Scotsman" and the 19th century New Zealand shanty "Wellerman" to his repertoire. The latter track, which appeared in December 2020, quickly took on a life of its own, garnering millions of streams and spawning a slew of remixes and renditions by the likes of Brian May, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Elon Musk, and Jimmy Fallon, and sparking a renewed interest in the genre. In January 2021, Evans inked a three-album recording contract with Polydor, officially quit his mail job, and released "Wellerman" as a proper single. ~ James Christopher Monger.
