Nat Johnson and The Figureheads

Nat Johnson and the Figureheads released their debut album, “Roman Radio”, in October 2009 on Damaged Goods. The music ranges from the sparse acoustic twinkling of Nat’s former outfit, to a full, electric sound encompassing alt-country and indie pop. In the past two years they have undertaken several national tours and recorded live radio sessions for Marc Riley, Tom Robinson and John Kennedy. The band are currently writing a second album. Nat Johnson is the former singer, songwriter and guitarist of acclaimed folk-pop band Monkey Swallows the Universe. When MSTU disbanded in 2008, Nat went solo for a short while before assembling The Figureheads – it’s said to be unlucky to sail a ship without a figurehead.
