Nate Ruess

Nate Ruess's songwriting catalog includes his Grammy winning band Fun ; his co-write and co-performance with P!nk on "Just Give Me a Reason"; and songs for Hayley Williams, Kesha, and Young Thug. After feeling no urge to write for ten years, he's back with the first new material in twenty years for his band The Format . Their new album is Boycott Heaven . And as you'll hear, nothing gets Ruess in the songwriting groove quite like a good, long run along the beach.
