Israel Nash

Israel Nash (aka Israel Nash Gripka) is a singer, songwriter and guitarist from Missouri who spent time in New York City before settling down outside Austin, Texas. His latest album, Israel Nash's Rain Plans, is his first using the Israel Nash moniker and his third overall. Like a dusty, dry desert breeze, Nash's music hints of the slow, intoxicated simmer of Neil Young and Crazy Horse, the early '70s psychedelic folk rock of Pink Floyd, and present day maestro, Jonathan Wilson.
