Nat Harvie

Duluth native and Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter, producer and performance artist Nat Harvie headlines a night of experimental music with support from Alan Sparhawk of Low and featuring organist Molly Raben.

Don't miss this one-time-only concert at 7:30 pm Wednesday, Oct. 23.

Harvie (they/them) fell deep into the world of DIY recording as a teenager growing up in Duluth. As a solo artist, Harvie began to produce and release work independently in 2015, featuring heartfelt songwriting and lush arrangements. Harvie has collaborated with a long list of Twin Ports and Twin Cities artists over they years recording three full-lenth albums between 2018 and 2022. A fourth full length album, New Virginity, was release in 2024.

Each of the album’s eight songs is a story, dreaming of an imagined future as the last person alive on earth, to a mirror version of childhood, the possibilities of gender in a ruined Eden, and the inevitable loss that comes from loving – all happening together at once.

“There’s a magical realism to saying ‘I am a virgin again’ – it becomes true – this is the logic of the album: that one can reset their relationship to experience, to the sensual,” Harvie says. “It’s not regressive though, not revisionist – I am not winding back the clock of my life, I am bringing a new virginity to myself.”

Sparhawk released his debut solo album on Sub Pop records in September. He will embark on a national and UK tour in November.

Raben is an organist based in Minneapolis. With one foot in a corner of the cosmos, she will weave patterns of nature, light, and the unseen into sonic meditations and improvisations on the historic Felgemaker organ.
