He is a current and founding member of indie rock band Blitzen Trapper and (formerly) folk duo Dead Lee.

Nathaniel Talbot and Lincoln Crockett
Hailing from Washington’s Whidbey Island, guitarist and singer Nathaniel Talbot, alongside Trout Lake’s mandolinist and vocalist Lincoln Crockett, have joined forces in a musical partnership two decades in the making. With the addition of Whidbey Island’s Keegan Harshman on upright bass, this trio is crafting some of the most compelling and innovative music of their careers.
Their sound—self-described as shoegazer freefolk—is a sophisticated blend of American roots music with elements of pop, jazz, and funk, half-tethered to tradition and half stemming from the Pacific Northwest’s legacy of freedom and innovation. Now on their third seasonal tour, their shows continue to draw larger crowds and more enthusiastic responses, with listeners and fellow musicians alike praising the trio’s musicianship and artistry.
Nathaniel Talbot’s songwriting and complex fingerstyle guitar work are inspired by influences like Bill Frisell, Kelly Joe Phelps, and Elliott Smith, while Crockett brings a modern folk and progressive bluegrass flair, blending fast picking, rich chording, and ear-catching melodies. Together, they create tight acoustic arrangements and lush vocal harmonies, often surprising listeners by venturing into the unexpected.
With each performance, the trio’s momentum builds. For Talbot, Crockett, and Harshman, this collaboration feels like a new pinnacle in their musical journeys, and they believe they are crafting some of the best music of their lives.

Since its opening, The LaurelThirst has strived to provide a great place for people to gather and eat good and reasonably priced food, choose from a large selection of micro-brews and wines (many of them local) and a place to hear the best local music that Portland has to offer in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
The LaurelThirst has been lucky enough to foster a community of exceptional and diverse people that includes its staff, musicians, neighbors and customers. It is a community that we are constantly thankful for.
