Since getting his start playing in the bands Cooper and Silent Orbit in college, Nathan has juggled playing in bands with his full time career in theatre. In 2004, Nathan began collaborating with flamenco guitarist and drummer to form the duo A Thousand Ships. The two remained committed to their DIY ethos, organizing concerts, recording and releasing their own music on the self-run Keroscene Records, and often even building much of their own gear. After a year of constant playing, Victor moved to Paris, putting the band on indefinite hiatus. Nathan immediately started work on his first full length solo record, Quicksand, which he released in early 2005. At the same tame, Nathan began collaborating again with bassist Mike Delatizky of Cooper in the band The Abatements. In March of 2005, the staff at Purevolume.com selected Nathan as a PurePick and awarded him a lifetime Pro membership.

After the release of Nathan's second full length A Fine Disaster in 2006, he took a break from recording and performing to focus on his career in theatre. He quickly established himself within the Boston theatre scene and became the sound designer and composer in residence for Boston Theatre Works (06 - 08), The Debate Society (06 - Present), The Brown / Trinity Consortium (07 - 08 season), Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theatre (07 - Present) and the guest sound designer for Tufts University (06 - present). Since 2006, Nathan has worked on an average of 30 productions each year in theatres across the country.

In 2007, Victor returned and the duo reconstituted A Thousand Ships. At the same time, Nathan began collaborating with Obie Award winning playwright and composer Kyle Jarrow to form the band Super Mirage (originally Sputnik Sweetheart). With two full-time electric bands, Nathan began recording acoustic material for a new solo record. Over nearly 2 years, Nathan recorded over 30 tracks before whittling it down to the 14 that would become Tell Me Something Honey. As Kyle and Nathan continuted to work on material for Super Mirage, they were offered a writing fellowship from the Williamstown Theatre Festival to develop a new piece together. That play would become their first co-written musical, Big Money. They quickly followed with their second piece, The Consequences, and are currently writing their third, Grimm. With new opportunities presented daily and several workshops for his work with Kyle, Nathan moved to Brooklyn in March 2009. Despite an increasingly hectic schedule, and several hundred miles, Nathan continues to collaborate with Mike Delatizky and Victor Pachas, working on material for a new project; Captain Larry's Waterslide (with Mike), and A Thousand Ships' debut self-titled full length record due out in early August 09.
