Bio

Nathan Bio PhotoEverything about me is a bit of a mystery. Only those close to me know my origins. I am strange and unpredictable. Often known to ramble off some old quote no one knows only to then laugh at myself and carry on with the task at hand. I try to be a deep thinker, but usually only end up confusing myself and others with thoughts that are either brilliant or humorous. Not sure which… Okay, well maybe I am not that interesting.

I am a normal guy from Missouri that gets to play music with an exceptional group of guys that strive to honor God with everything we do. I love my family and enjoy playing music. If you want to know more about me you will have to catch me and ask!

What for you is a good show and/or what is your favorite thing about playing?
I love the fact we can play songs that have come out of our personal lives and still point people to Christ. A good show is one that is honest for us. If we are into it then I think the crowd knows that.
