Nathan Whitt was born on the 4th of July, and Independence is his middle name. He writes his own brand of music, bringing a personal, identifiable sound to the stage as a solo artist, or with his stellar band. Over time he has developed the “…unique power to connect with the listener on a very personal level.” ~ City Beat
Bred out of the classic singer/songwriter mold, he combines his unique original material with the live performance of a soulful band and his trademark, danceable back beat. He surrounds himself with an all-star band that includes veteran session players and established pop/rock and R&B musicians including Chris Lute on guitar and Patrick Edwards on bass.
Together, they create an innovative musical formula that is a cross between pop/rock artists such as John Mayer and Bruce Hornsby or funk/jam bands like Robert Randolph and Little Feat...with the occasional alt-Americana country tilt reminiscent of artists like Jason Isbell and Sturgill Simpson.
They have shared the stage with many national acts such as: Dave Matthews, Melissa Etheridge, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, O.A.R., Blessid Union of Souls, Howie Day, Ekoostik Hookah, Derek Trucks, War, The Jazz Mandolin Project, Galactic, Little Feat, Peter Frampton, Dave Mason, and Pure Prarie League, among many others.
“Nathan Whitt Band’s music appeals to diverse college crowds, jamband fans, and casual listeners alike, bringing to the table a broad range of experience and exposure with different artists and styles.” ~ Columbus Alive
