The North American tour is in support of the band’s third studio album, The Future, which is out now on Stax Records to widespread critical praise. Last year, Rateliff and the band performed Survivor and Baby I Got Your Number on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Future on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert while also playing their tracks Survivor, Love Don’t and Face Down In The Moment on CBS This Morning: Saturday.

These performances follow numerous career milestones for Rateliff and the band who made their debut on Saturday Night Live with the premiere performance of Redemption, written for and featured in the film, Palmer, starring Justin Timberlake. In addition, the group appeared on CMT Crossroads with country singer/songwriter, Margo Price, while Rateliff’s Tiny Desk (Home) Concert premiered at NPR Music.

“Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ glorious new vintage R&B album, bursting at the seams with fresh coolness. It has a sound grounded in the past but not mimicking it, a fresh, modern-retro vibe that makes sense once you listen.” – Associated Press

“That mix of Sixties groove workouts and Seventies singer-songwriter truth-seeking pays off on their third album, The Future. The title track kicks off sounding like the Bob Dylan of Desire if he’d recorded that album at Muscle Shoals.” – Rolling Stone

“…a giant leap forward…” – Mojo

“The Future goes wider stylistically and deeper thematically, embedding Rateliff’s devastating lyrics in taut arrangements that stand alongside their sources of inspiration...Instant Classic”
– Uncut

“The Future showcases Rateliff and The Night Sweats playing at the top of their game with a blend of passionate songwriting, raw and towering vocals, and infectious soul rock vibes.”
– No Depression

“Nathaniel Rateliff has become a consistently shining purveyor of classic tunes.” – San Francisco Chronicle

“...a style that brings to mind the vintage sounds of the ‘60s and ‘70s as generated from such diverse locales as Woodstock, Stax, and Muscle Shoals…while still sophisticated enough to make an emphatic impression.” – American Songwriter

“The band reveals a greater artistic depth on their third studio album.” – Consequence

“The Future effectively combines provocative lyrics married to the Sweats’ trademarked attack; one that’s successful, even triumphant, and paves the way for more of the same in forthcoming endeavors.” – Holler.
