Nate Smith
Part of Club Hancher
Part of Hancher's 53rd season
With music visceral and viral, a stellar drummer blends modern jazz with hip-hop and more.
Nate Smith’s list of collaborators ranges from Pat Metheny to Brittany Howard to the Vulfpeck spinoff band The Fearless Flyers. He fearlessly fuses his original modern jazz compositions with the sounds of R&B, pop, and hip-hop. A series of viral videos—viewed millions of times—has established Smith as one of the most influential and popular drummers of his generation.
“Smith is a dynamic presence on the stage, an athletic drummer who can shift almost seamlessly from in-the-pocket funk to hard-bop swing.” – Jazz Times
