Since he was born, Nathan has been engulfed by music, from his papaw's claw-hammer banjo playing, to his dad's constant record playing. Bluegrass music is in his blood. A fan of Bill Monroe, Nathan picked up the mandolin at the age of 10. His dad taught him chords and melodies to some traditional songs. Never having formal lessons - Nathan learned his craft by practice, jamming, bluegrass festivals, and trial & error.

Throughout the years, he has toured the country and honed his mandolin and vocal skill while playing in such bands as The 'Get Down' Bluegrass Boys with multiple award winning fiddle great Michael Cleveland, the entertainer and traditional bluegrass band award winning Charlie Lawson & Oak Hill, and Gary Brewer & the Kentucky Ramblers. Nathan is now an instructor, the "go to guy" for mandolin around Louisville, KY, and continues his family-legacy through his thoughtful picking, singing & songwriting with Storefront Congregation.
