Keyboard player Nathan Shubert-Harbison’s love for music is quite deep indeed. Having grown up in a musical household, the son of a classical trombonist, Nathan has been exposed to a wide variety of music from a young age. His first-hand active musical experience began when he first learnt piano at age 12, and has included performing traditional Irish music on guitar, klezmer music on accordion, studying jazz piano with George Essihos, and eventually attending Vancouver Island University to study jazz piano. Nathan studied jazz performance for two years at VIU, as well as an additional year at Vancouver Community College. In the process Nathan caught the vintage keys and synth bug, and spends a lot of time playing country, blues and rock Hammond organ, Rhodes, Wurlitzer and synth.
Nathan currently studies jazz piano with Bob Murphy and classical piano with Bill Costin, plays keys in his rock band Minto, Hammond organ in Moses Shubert Parker, and piano in his jazz piano trio The Nathan Shubert Trio.
When not playing music, Nathan is a freelance web developer under the moniker of Little Penguin Studio, and built the very website you’re currently looking at.
