Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats return Oct. 29 to the Walmart AMP as part of the Cox Concert Series. Music starts at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $39.50-$109.50 plus applicable fees.

The tour celebrates the band’s fourth full-length studio album, “South of Here,” due June 28 via Stax. A new video for the first single, “Heartless,” which hits on themes of Rateliff’s childhood and moving west from his hometown in Missouri, was directed by Kimberly Stuckwisch, an award-winning director who previously worked with Olivia Rodrigo and Margo Price.

“Growing up in an impoverished part of Kentuckiana, I often found myself running away from my upbringing, diving headfirst into books, studies, writing, and theater, all in search of a different life, a different dream,” Stuckwisch said. “It was through the arts that I found and continue to find my freedom. In a lot of ways, I modeled our lead character (Kevin Kelley) after myself and am so thankful Nathaniel trusted me with such a personal note and important song for the world.”

Produced by Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Bon Iver, Kevin Morby) and recorded at Sonic Ranch outside El Paso, Texas, “South of Here” reckons with a lifetime of pain and trauma and transforms it into a stirring, soul-baring rumination on love, loss, hope and resolve.

Across 11 original tracks, all written by Rateliff, the band — Luke Mossman, Joseph Pope III, Mark Shusterman, Patrick Meese, Daniel Hardaway, Jeff Dazey and Andreas Wild — plays with intuitive beauty while Cook’s production captures the group’s soulful fire with immediacy and purpose.

“Brad was a great producer to write alongside. This album is a look into my own struggle with anxiety, insecurity and stories of my life. He encouraged me to take responsibility for my own narrative in the songs and to write about what’s happening in my own life,” Rateliff notes. “These recordings were done together in a room with my closest friends. I hope these songs and stories give you an opportunity to better understand your own struggles, whatever they may be.”
