Recently returned from a ripping tour of Western Australia, this SATURDAY NIGHT, Aussie activist & multi-instrumental troubadour, Nathan 'Lucky Man' Kaye will be doing his famed improvised beat-box routine as well as his underground brand of sunbaked blues driven roots live at the Gold Coast's Mandala Organic Arts Café and also on Sunday at Byron Bay's The Treehouse… 


If multi-talented musos brandishing lap slide guitars & telescopic didgeridoos rocks your world, then get your butt down to check Kaye's show.

 

After many years earning a reputation as a high energy performer and adroit multi-instrumentalist both nationally & internationally, as well as playing & Jamming with many of the industry's best musicians like John Butler as well as with players from George, The Beautiful Girls, Blue King Brown, Fyah Walk, Kaye has long established himself as one of Australia's most engaging live acts. 

This Weekend is no different. 

If it’s happy locals & spunky foreign faces you wish to see grooving in the Gold Coast's & Byron Bay’s coolest live music venues, then get along to Mandala Organic Arts Café on Saturday or The Treehouse on Sunday and celebrate the Summer sun rockin’ to the Nathan Kaye's uplifting show.

 

LIVE: If you were to blend JOHN BUTLER, THE TEA PARTY, MICHAEL FRANTI and, well, THE UMBILICAL BROTHERS all in one person, you’d get something that resembles a Nathan Kaye live performance…

NATHAN KAYE BIO (169 words)

 

Thundering roots-rock, sun-baked blues, hilarious tales and beatbox world groove… Much more than your contemporary one man band, this LA & Byron Bay based Aussie, Nathan Kaye, is a roaring vocalist, ball-tearing lapsteel slide guitar playing, funky didge blowing, body-popping, human beatbox freak with wit & spirit.  Think John Butler on pills, Michael Franti on ‘shrooms and The Umbilical Brothers on fire.

 

NK frolics between lap steel slide guitar, 12-string and 6 string acoustic, Didgeridoo and beat boxing, interweaving catchy hooks, Socio-enviro-conscious lyrics, and hilarious storytelling. Whether in a sea of fans on the festival circuit at Glastonbury Festival (UK), Edinburgh Fringe Festival (UK) or Lightning In a Bottle (USA), or in the backyard venues of regional Australia, Nathan inspires sweat to drip and hearts to open.

 

Kaye's music will draw you in and make you think, make you laugh and make you move.

NK is a one-man band and a talent packed show that has to be seen to be believed. Trust us, you’ll be better for it.
