Nathan McEuen and Scott Gates

Presented by Live Acoustic Venue Association (LAVA) at Abounding Grace Sanctuary

September 25, 2010

Nathan McEeun grew up in the bluegrass and folk rock scene around his Grammy Award winning father and with mentors like Johnny Cash, Vassar Clements, Steve Martin, and Dolly Parton, and experiences opening for and working with Dave Crosby and Graham Nash, Kenny Loggins, John Denver, Chris Hillman, Willie Nelson, Dave Mason, and many more. But Nathan has blazed his own trail, often being compared to the likes of Nickel Creek, Jack Johnson, and the David Grisman Quintet. Pulling from all of his past experiences, Nathan has an ability to write original songs and craft his vocals around tunes both old and new, making him sound familiar yet unique.

Scott Gates is an 18-year-old mandolin virtuoso who plays in the Nathan McEuen Band. Last year, Nathan performed with Steve Martin on the Grand Finale of American Idol, and Scott performed with Steve on the Ellen Degeneres Show on Memorial Day. Nathan and Scott will be joined by special guest accordionist, Kevin Schramm, of the Last Call Girls and Way Out West.
