Since relocating from California to Cheboygan in 2018, Nathan Towne has quickly established himself as a much sought-after performer in the Straits region of Northern Michigan. A guitarist of unusual talent and versatility, Nathan is equally at home performing Jazz, Classical and Rock, as well as his own original arrangements of popular standards. In addition to a busy performance schedule (including as the bassist for '90s alt-rock group Blind Melon), he was the 2020 Artist in Residence at the Opera House, where he continues to offer instruction on guitar, piano and drums.
