Nathan Morgan began playing guitar at the age of 11 after receiving his first acoustic guitar for Christmas one year. Nathan was then immediately put to work at guitar lessons learning the basics of the instrument he would come to love. Nathan stumbled upon his father’s vinyl collection of old CCR, Lynryd Skynyrd, and ZZ Top records at about 13 and was immediately hypnotized by the sounds he heard. Nathan soon found himself staying up hours at a time to learn every Lynyrd Skynyrd song he could by picking it out, note by note. By age 15, Nathan was already playing in local clubs and bars that thrived upon the Southern Rock sound. It was then at age 16 that Nathan stumbled across a biography on Stevie Ray Vaughan being broadcast on VH1. This was the moment that Nathan credits as his first look at the blues. From that day until now, Nathan has continued to develop his playing style in the form of his heroes, including Stevie Ray, Johnny Winter, Allen Collins, Steve Gaines, and Freddie King. Nathan has stated where the passion in his playing comes from; “The bulk of my playing style is derived from that classic Texas blues sound from guys like Stevie, Johny Winter, and Freddie King, and I also always try to include a riff or two from the Skynyrd boys in there as well.

Its just all about emotion and feeling, no matter what the tempo of the song is.” Nathan has plenty of the right equipment to help him express his signature sound. His guitars include a 2001 American Fender Stratocaster, a 2003 American Telecaster Deluxe, a 2005 Gibson Les Paul Double Cutaway, and his 2006 Gold Tone Resonator. As for amps, Nathan prefers Fender Tube amps above everything. Nathan uses for smaller club gigs an upgraded version of a Fender Blues Jr. 15 watt tube amp. For larger venues, Nathan has recently swapped over to Marshall celestion speaker cabinets powered by a 100 Watt 1969 Sunn Sceptre tube head. He is constantly on the lookout for vintage guitars and equipment and has accumulated quite a collection over the years of his 10 year musical journey.

Being only a 22 year old kid from the small town of Rex, Georgia, Nathan has made quite an impression on his local musical community, an impression that he hopes to expand across the map.
