Artist Guide » Rock » Jam-band » NATE LAPOINTE: Nate LaPointe
Rootsy but eclectic songwriting and improvisation is what Nate is all about. His unique collaboration with Tim Campbell has allowed them to write songs from the heart and speak to many. From introspective ballads like "Keep Me By" and "I'm Not With You Anymore" to bring-down-the-house rockers like "Take Your Chances" and "Southern Belle" the band will surely take you on a musical journey.

Nate LaPointe began playing guitar at age 5. By age 9 he was playing solo at festivals and by age 14 he was playing clubs with his father in the band the two of them started. A combination of growing up in Laramie, Wyoming and his father’s passion for music, Nate was exposed to a wide variety of music ranging from jazz to classical to rock to country. At age 15, he took the jazz road which eventually led him to California Institute of the Arts (1996-2000) where he earned his BFA in jazz guitar after studying with such greats as Larry Koonse, Joe LaBarbera, and Charlie Haden. Currently Nate performs with various groups throughout Los Angeles and the world ranging from the Jeff Jensen Blues Band to Cubensis (a Grateful Dead tribute) to Roxy Especial (a latin/pop phenomenon) to 60's soul/R&B legend Bobby Womack. Nate has recently played with Vince Welnick, Bob Margolan, Bloodstone, and opened up for BB King.
