Although Nathaniel Rateliff is from Missouri, his move to Colorado at 18 started a long relationship with the state, and now Governor John Hickenlooper has proclaimed December 17 to be Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats day in Colorado.

The official proclamation, which can be seen below, notes the band’s success in the state, including how their upcoming show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre sold out in seven minutes.

Rateliff and company also have a new EP out, the follow up to their debut record as a band that came out last year. A Little Something More is available at the band’s website.
