Nate Danner Band

Nate Danner is from Arlington, Texas.  He first picked up the acoustic guitar in 1998 with a desire to learn how to play some Metallica tunes. His dad brought home his first guitar from a Sam’s club that was selling acoustic classical guitars.  He recalls that being one of best days of his life as he was so happy and thankful for the thoughtful gift.  His dad said, I know it isn’t exactly the guitar you may have wanted, but it is a place to start.  Nate ended up re-stringing it with normal acoustic strings, and played it every day during his senior year of high school, only to find one afternoon after school, he came home and found the bridge had busted from the pressure from the incorrect type of strings being used.  Thus, launching a search at guitar center for his next guitar.  

His biggest musical influences were a range from multiple genres, to include but not limited to: Metallica, Pantera, Van Halen, Limp Bizkit, Heart, George Strait, Merle Haggard, Don Williams, Bobby Darin, Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Credence Clearwater Revival, Lynryd Skynyrd, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Pat Green, Randy Rogers Band, Turnpike Troubadours, Shane Smith & The Saints.  

Music is medicine for Nate, and writing, singing and getting to create music with other musicians is what he describes as being outside of this world.
