Nate Michals – Musician on Facebook

lastsnare — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 20:28:29 +0000

Hi Everyone !
I haven’t touched this site in a while, but I have been busy on and off putting up some guitar videos on my Facebook Music page.

Look me up here: Nate Michals – Guitar, Saxophone and Drums.
I focus on guitar in the style of Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson, but I would like to add more instruments in the future, including saxophone and drums, which are my other two main specialties.

Thanks !
Nate

Here are some photos that I took at the 2012 Music is Art Festival in Delaware Park, Buffalo, NY by the Albright Knox Art Gallery.

Some favorites were Victory for Poland ( 2012 Battle of the Bands winner), The Ruby Spirit (from Toronto), Lance Diamond and Rince Na Tiarna (both from Buffalo).

This past weekend I had the opportunity to see some great Rally-America activity at the 2012 Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, USA. David Higgins, Antoine L’Estage, Andrew Comrie Picard, Crazy Leo, Team Hazard Rally and many more (65 cars started the event) competed in the Tioga State Forest and Waste Management properties.

A Ton of Money

If anyone ever offers you a ton of money, be sure to specify dollar bills ( $907,180 ) because a ton of pennies is only worth $3,632.

MP3 of The Day

Week of 11/28/2011:
Very cool contrasting sections between the ‘Nice Sprites’ and the ‘Scary Monsters.’
The Nice Sprites section reminds me of something I can’t place exactly. But it sounds so cool. Give it a listen.
