About this Song
The specific, lived tension of existing between two distinct cultural identities, and the search for a creative form that can hold the full complexity of that liminality, fuels a sound that redefines what it means to contribute to the blues, pushing against long-held assumptions about who gets to claim the form as their own. Nat Myers' 'Yellow Peril' offers a refreshing entry into the blues canon, one that upends the narrow, monolithic narratives that have long shaped how the blues is understood, curated, and passed down through generations. As a debut creative statement from a Kentucky-based creator whose work centers the experience of being a Korean American navigating life in the U.S., it anchors its exploration of identity in the rich, layered cultural soil of a state that has played an outsized role in the global popularization of blues music, while refusing to be constrained by the limiting tropes that have often been attached to music emerging from that region.
