  • Bio

    After experimenting with several instruments during his childhood and discovering that members of the oppsite sex aren't interested in guys who play baritone horn, Nathan decided to take up electric bass. He began playing seriously at the age of 15, and has been tearing up the Detroit & L.A. music scenes ever since with his distinct brand of intelligent, funky, jazz-infused bass. Nathan currently performs as a sideman and session player for various artists in southern California. Nathan earned his A.A. in music from Henry Ford College, but attributes some of the best learning in his perpetual musical education to the time he spent in the Detroit music scene. It was in Detroit that Nathan met flutist Alexander Zonjic. As a member of Zonjic's band from 1986-1993, he performed with some of the world's most eminent jazz artists, including Bob James, Earl Klugh, Kirk Whalum, and others. Shortly thereafter Nathan relocated to southern California and eventually hooked up with Detroit buddies Scott Wilkie ( the Scott Wilkie Band ) and Randy Jacobs ( the Boneshakers ). Nathan can be heard holding down the bottom on releases by Scott Wilkie, The Boneshakers, Patrick Yandall, Jason Weber, Under The Lake, Keith Jacobson, Burt Brion, Kamau Kenyatta and the I-10 Chronicles featuring Charlie Musslewhite, Joe Ely, Eliades Ochoa, Willie Nelson, Adam Duritz, Bill & Bonnie Hearne and many others. In addition to touring with Scott Wilkie & the Boneshakers, he has also toured with jazz guitarist Brian Hughes, Patrick Yandall, and Kerry Warren and performs regularly in southern California with Jason Weber, Kamau Kenyatta and many others. Also, Nathan is proud to be the bass player for the Blues SchoolHouse Band at the House Of Blues, San Diego.
