Can't trust that day... Musical Monday #7

Where did the weekend go?
Can it really be Monday Morning already...back to work...boo hoo!
And to top it all off...it's trying to ... gulp ...snow outside!

I didn't prepare anything for Musical Monday last night, so I was left searching and panicking this morning... I came up with this...

Nathan...

"If David Lynch had directed 'O Brother Where Art Thou?,'
Nathan's Music would be the soundtrack"
~Michael Wrycraft, CBC Radio

that just about says it all about this menagerie from the prairies...

Fronted by the songwritting duo Keri Latimer and Shelley Marshall, Nathan's often dark, yet catchy tunes, paint a portrait of life on the prairies, where they tell us how life out in the big open is anything but dull and boring. The rest of the band is comprised of Devin Latimer - bass player(and Keri's husband), drummer Damon Mitchell, and a rotating list of various other performers each bringing something interesting to Nathan's own brand of meloncholic bluegrass.

Instrumentation runs from the expected (guitar, bass, banjo, pedal steel) to the eccentric (accordion, theramin, tuba), and the songs...well I'm hooked...listen for yourself.

I have seen Nathan perform on 3 occations, the most recent being at Waynefest last month, where I decided the only time a screaming baby is acceptable at a music festival is when the mother of said child (Hazel Mariko Latimer), is on stage performing (Keri and Devin are brand new parents!)
