American-Korean blues poet Nat Myers grew up in Kentucky, skateboarding and listening to hip-hop, pop-punk and hardcore. His musical interest grew through his passion for poetry and the blues music that his father loved. “It dawned on me on me that the real American epics were being told by these itinerant musicians from the ‘30s and ‘40s, even before recorded sound. That’s when I did my deep dive into the blues, so I could write my own epic.”
While studying poetry in New York, he played old blues covers and originals on the street. Covid put an end to this budding busking career, but the videos that he spread on social media were picked up by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys. He invited Nat to Nashville, which led to the writing and recording of Myers’ debut album ‘Yellow Peril’. Recording took place in Auerbach’s 100-year-old house in Nashville, looking out over an endless prairie. Just the right vibe for capturing a piece of American history, with Myers’ foot stomping on the wooden floor.
Making the album developed Myers’ awareness around his Asian roots. The title track 'Yellow Peril' is also a reaction to the anti-Asian hate that arose in America due to the pandemic. ”I’m all about Yellow Power. I want this record to raise my folks up.” 
The album unmistakeably evokes Delta blues but also takes issue with the inequalities of current times. A continuation of the blues tradition but at the same time a departure from every stereotype associated with it.
