Memphis Artist and Entrepreneur Chris Nurthen

More about the Artist
SweetNur Music is the artist project presenting the works of Memphis-based singer/songwriter Chris Nurthen. Chris is a Navy veteran, father and husband and his songs draw influence from Americana, rock, country and alternative pop. Appealing to the listener’s ear with timeless melodies and structure, and hooking the listener’s heart with lyrical emotional depth, Chris’ catalog aims to celebrate the “beautiful struggle” of life. Conceptually, his lyrics typically address the positive aspects of adulthood, but with a touch of realism. Considering the journey of marriage, family, and adulthood as a tremendous act of courage and commitment, Chris tries to capture the beauty in the struggle—leaning into the mental and spiritual pain that comes with real love, and the joy found in accepting and understanding the sinful nature of humans.
