One Night Band 2010

nateleavittmusic.com — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 22:38:59 +0000

Saturday morning I’ll be headed to the Middle East Downstairs at the unrock-like hour of 10 am to meet up with 39 other musicians and be randomly put into a band with 4 of them. It’s called One Night Band and I couldn’t be more excited for it! There is a challenge of sorts included in this night. The new band I will be put into will have to write and perform 3 original songs and 1 cover the same night at the club we met at earlier. Last years was a huge success and I imagine this time will be equally as good.

There will be gift bags for the first 300 people in the the door filled with stuff from the musicians. I’m putting in a 3 song sampler featuring tracks by me, The Blizzard of 78 and Parlour Bells. Get there early to be sure to get one.

alone together

Happy to announce another solo performance happening this Saturday night 6/26 at The Rosebud in Davis Sq., Somerville. In addition, I’m equally excited that the second half of the set will feature my collaboration with Glenn Dibenedetto in a project we call Parlour Bells. Glenn and I have been making music together on and off ever since we met outside a junior high dance roughly twenty years ago. So needless to say whenever we get onstage memories of youth and very long hair come rushing back! Our set starts promptly at 9pm with me doing some solo material first followed by Glenn and I. The night certainly doesn’t end there in fact it keeps rolling with sets by Old Jack and One Hand Free. Check out my live page for more info on this and other shows.

Lakers 83 Celtics 79

As most of you know I love Celtics Basketball. So much so that I went to LA to see Game 2 of the Finals. The trip turned out to be a once in a lifetime experience and the actual game was historical. Ray Allen’s performance goes into the record books with his completion of eight 3 pointers, seven of which came in the first half. Needless to say attending the game I love 3000 miles away and witnessing a win was incredible. Anyway, should be an interesting off season with Doc and Ray’s future uncertain in addition to all of the free agent movement. Alas, the season is over but I’ve got some memories to last me until Fall.

July….
I’ve added some shows to the “live” page. Turning out to be another busy month with a Solo/Parlour Bells performance and a few Blizzard shows as well as the new ep we’re working on.

life is good…but busy!

I’ve been working really hard lately on a bunch of different projects. First off the Blizzard has been cooking up some new songs and the ideas are flowing steadily. We’ve begun writing and rehearsing in Chris’s living room and I think the change of atmosphere and wide open space is inspiring.

I’ve also been doing some fill in work with some bands. Most recently I played with Old Jack at the Fleetwood Mac Cover-Up and had a great time. I really enjoyed being in my favorite Boston band for a gig and all the members are very cool to work with. In addition to all of this I’m also part of a pickup band performing an array of music set to choreographed dancers.

I can’t remember a busier time but it’s invigorating and refreshing after all these years of playing.

do it solo

My friend Sooz has come up with a great idea for a solo acoustic show and it’s called Do It Solo. The idea is to take guys who normally rock with full bands and showcase their music as solo artists. I’ll be performing along with Marc Pinansky of Township and Ian Adams. It all happens on Wednesday, February 24th at the Lizard Lounge. More info at Do It Solo

This is my very own website for all things Nate. In lieu of my first solo album, which I’m working on right now, I wanted to have a place where I can keep everyone updated. It’s a work in progress but will be updated regularly with lots of cool content, live shows, etc..
