Artist
Keri Latimer is the primary singer songwriter for the winnipeg based band Nathan. She writes about lives on the prairies or the Titanic or Noah’s Arc. She compares the wind to vampires and politicians to scarecrows that secretly dream of being crows and sets them to melodies that twist and turn and take you where you weren’t expecting to go.The group Nathan has garnered critical acclaim, winning a Juno Award, multiple Prairie Music and Canadian Folk Music Awards, and has been nominated for the Socan Echo Songwriting Prize.

# Why Nathan Merits Your Attention Nathan's songwriting operates at the intersection of the mundane and the mythic—prairie life shares space with the Titanic and Noah's Arc, while everyday observations transform into unexpected metaphors. Latimer's gift lies in her willingness to find profundity in unlikely comparisons: wind becomes vampiric, politicians resemble dreaming scarecrows. What distinguishes this work is how meticulously the melodies match the conceptual ambition—songs that seem poised in one direction suddenly veer elsewhere, mirroring the disorientation of her imagery. This is songwriting that trusts the listener's intelligence, refusing easy answers while remaining emotionally genuine.
