Career

Nash is from Aurora, Missouri. At the age of 9 he received piano lessons, but soon switched to the electric guitar. At 13 he had an alternative rock band called Skirmish . Nash moved to New York in 2006 and performed in various clubs on the Lower East Side , such as The Living Room and Rockwood Music Hall . He recorded his 2009 debut album New York Town in the Magic Shop Studio in New York. Ultimately, the album was released in Europe by the Dutch label Continental Records Services .

His second album Barn Doors and Concrete Floors was recorded on a farm outside New York in the summer of 2010. Steve Shelley ( Sonic Youth ) co-produced and played drums on all tracks. Nash recruited the rest of his studio band from his circle of friends: Joey McClellan (Midlake, The Fieros) on lead guitar, Aaron McClellan (The Fieros) on bass and Eric Swanson on bass, mandolin and banjo. An extensive European tour followed.

Nash left New York in late 2011 and moved to Dripping Springs not far from Austin , Texas . In the summer of 2012, he recorded his third album, Israel Nash's Rain Plans, in his studio in his home outside Dripping Springs. Ted Young was the producer.

Released on the London label Loose Music on September 30, 2013, the album was positively received in Europe.
